BASS - Biodiversity Assessments at Small Scales Much of the work developed on biodiversity dynamics due to climate change focuses on large scales. Yet, we know that small scale is critical to fully understand biodiversity change, particularly for p...

The BASS project is taking place in a montado area near GrΓ’ndola (Portugal), where 16 plots we set up and is a wonderful opportunity for students to work in this remarkable habitat and learn about biodiversity conservation. πŸ•·οΈπŸœπŸͺ²πŸŒ
