Abstract
Among the main topics of Norwegian IBP tundra biome studies at Hardangervidda, described by Sonesson et al. (1975), are investigations of energy flow and mineral cycling. Numerous calorimetric investigations on the consumer component of ecosystems have been carried out (Petrusewicz and MacFadyen, 1970), while less attention has been given to measurement of element content and feeding habits.
