On October 9, FutureScapes researchers Aveliina Helm and Eve Veromann presented our centre’s work on the ETV programme “TeadusEST.”
Our centre’s researchers, Aveliina Helm and Eve Veromann, explained in the programme how collaboration among several research groups generates new knowledge about ecosystem functioning and climate change mitigation. On the flower-rich floodplain meadow of Alam-Pedja, they demonstrated how gas chambers are used to measure greenhouse gas fluxes, innovative scanners track root growth, and Malaise traps are used to collect data about the species richness and abundance of flying insects.

They also explained the goal of our top research centre: to determine which landscapes and land-use practices are our best allies in mitigating climate change and preserving biodiversity. This knowledge helps us plan future land use and ensure sustainable coexistence with nature.
