Fieldtrip | Plankton Ecosystems | Marta Musso | Franco Borgogno (ERI)
«Connecting Mountains to the Sea»
Last October, the EcoArtLab was able to go on an exciting research trip from the Italian Alps to the Mediterranean sea as part of the Pro Helvetia Synergies project «Plankton Ecosystems».
Organised by Riikka Tauriainen, together with marine biologist Marta Musso and Franco Borgogno from the European Research Institute (ERI), they were able to explore how terrestrial and marine ecosystems are connected and what role location plays in biodiversity.
To this end, various water samples were used to analyse how plankton develops downstream in order to gain a deeper understanding of the connection between land and sea.
