Abstract

The properties of field galaxies are investigated based on a sample of ∼ 600 galaxies from z=0.05 to z=1.3. The strongest evolutionary features are found in the luminosity function of the blue galaxies, in the emission line properties and in the disk

surface brightness. It is argued that the star formation rate was higher in the past than today but other mechanisms (such as evolution of the opacity) are also likely contributing to the observed evolution.
