Here are some of the mushrooms seen by our team this field season! First-to-last we have: Rickenella fibula, Laccaria laccata, (a bitten) Suillus americanus, and members of the wax cap family!

The past few months have passed in the blink of an eye- it's almost time to wrap up another field season!

Embracing the elements! Field work fun in the rain 🌧️ #DataCollection

Our field sites can look very different throughout the year... only 48 days will make a world of difference! Summers are short at 56 degrees north but growth is abundant. It’s amazing how our research sites can grow a fully formed researcher in the span of less than two months!

An awesome cyanotype workshop hosted by one of our grad students last week, all using plants from our field sites! What a perfect way to preserve our memories. #ScienceandArt #PlantArt

Cocktail day in the field! Brenda (our pH meter) is thirsty for a drink, luckily we have the best buffer bartender in town, Sean! We have her favourites ready: pH Buffer 4.01, pH Buffer 7.00, pH Buffer 10.01, and her favourite conductivity standard 1413 μS! It’s calibration time!

Working hard or hardly working? That’s for you to decide. While you're deciding, we're taking the 5445th soil moisture reading of this trip! #fieldwork #seismiclines #boreal @BeraProject

Leg day! #WaterWells #Clay #BorealSwamps

Here's a field skill we always struggle with early in the season: leveling and centering a tripod over a survey monument. This video shows how it's done. #YoureWelcome #GNSS #RTK #Surveying

Field season is here! BERA researchers kicked off the 2023 field season last week in northern Alberta.

Welcome to our new field assistants! Let the fieldwork begin!

This week, @BeraProject researchers met at the annual #BERA spring retreat in Kananaskis. We had a great time field planning, sharing research ideas, and spending time at Barrier Lake!
