The study sites are located on both sides of the fence (Finnish side heavily grazed, Russian side non-grazed). In Sodankyl\u00e4 close to Arctic Research Centre, there is fenced area where there have been no reindeer for more than 50 years (the fence was built for snow depth measurements and has been isolating investigated area from reindeers since then).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Principal investigator: PhD Kajar K\u00f6ster <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"228\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/disturbances-and-biogeochemistry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/178\/2022\/02\/Reindeer2-1024x228.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/disturbances-and-biogeochemistry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/178\/2022\/02\/Reindeer2-1024x228.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/disturbances-and-biogeochemistry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/178\/2022\/02\/Reindeer2-300x67.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/disturbances-and-biogeochemistry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/178\/2022\/02\/Reindeer2-768x171.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/disturbances-and-biogeochemistry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/178\/2022\/02\/Reindeer2-1536x342.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/disturbances-and-biogeochemistry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/178\/2022\/02\/Reindeer2-2048x456.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8221; Reindeer grazing vs changes in above- and below ground biota and soil carbon dynamics in subarctic boreal forests &#8211; guilty or not?&#8221;&nbsp;and&nbsp;\u201cCarbon neutrality of reindeer management\u201d are post-doc projects funded by Kone Foundation (2015 \u2013 2016)\u00a0and Finnish Cultural Foundation, Lapland Regional Fund to Dr. K\u00f6ster.
