Lifeplan Röbäcksdalen

Röbäcksdalen - a part of the world

Lifeplan is a global monitoring project measuring biodiveristy on earth. Research stations all around the world are participating, but special focus is put on Sweden and Madagaskar.

Our measurements in Lifeplan

Lifeplan uses five different methods to collect biodiversity data; sounds, images, soil samples, flying insects, and spores. At Röbäcksdalen two of these methods are used, a cyclone trap for spores and a malaise trap for flying insects. The equipment is placed on one of the dairy farm's fields and is following the standard crop rotation consisting of leys and barley.
