Abstract
During investigations of Norwegian IBP at the Hardangervidda alpine plateau, measurements of abundance, standing crop and calorific content of invertebrates were carried out at the dry meadow, wet meadow and lichen heath at Stigstuv (site description in Sonesson et al., 1975). The aim was to reveal any patterns in fluctuations in individuals and community standing crop. It was also of great interest to compare values from Hardangervidda to results obtained in more temperate areas.
