Congratulations to Raphael von Büren for successfully defending his master's thesis on November 10th!

Raphi

Raphael von Büren has shown that winter frost (due to missing snow cover) and different frost resistance explain the occurrence of Carex curvula and Nardus stricta in the alpine belt. He made an important step to better understand the fundamental niche of the two most abundant graminoid species in the Alps.
