Effects of climate warming on the energy expenditures by reindeer - Testing the study method

Reindeer TRACT

This study part planned to be made in the Kutuharju experimental reindeer field station is connected to the study project (TRACT) leaded by the Norwegian researcher Leif Loe In TRACT project there will be investigated the adaptation of Svaldbard reindeer into warming climate.

In the study part of Kutuharju there will be tested and calibrated the study method which will be then used for studying the energy expenditures, matabolism rate and heat stress caused by warming climate during summer and winter.
