for some reason, i've been lately drawn to biology. i'm planning a small exercise to get me into the topic of biodiversity...

3 weeks ago in helzing.

i've been thinking about going into the forest, isolating one cubic meter from there and making an inventory of everything that can be found inside that.

is that too bold an attempt? what equipment and/or information resources would i need?

We did that at "yläaste".

Identifying insects is the challenge. That's why I've been looking for relevant info on them recently.

i'd like to get to smaller detail, microscopical stuff, etc.. that's why i'm thinking that one cubic meter might be too much..

we didn't have anything like that in yläaste in the 90s..

start with 10x10cm area in case you want to go to miniscule details. analysing 100x100cm takes some time.

Are you going to dig into the ground, scrutinizing the soil?

3 weeks ago by nieminensundell.
I would analyze 1000l air.

@nieminensundell: don't know yet.. i would love to do everything, of course, but simply don't have the time..
