This last week (April 27- May 2) several NordBorN researchers attended the European Geophysical Union (EGU) General Assembly 2025 in Vienna. Mariana and Elias co-convened the session Global change impacts biodiversity, from observations, and experiments to modeling (ITS3.12/BG0.8 + BG3.20) that featured several talks and posters on borealization, and respectively presented posters about NordBorN and Arctic greening trends. Alejo presented his research on biocrust in the Icelandic highlands, and Isabel discussed the use of the term borealization.
