| Description |
This observatory belongs to the SASSCAL ObservationNet and offers data and user friendly information regarding the temporal changes within ecosystems and their biological diversity. The data have been collected by a variety of different scientific disciplines jointly using standardized research infrastructures for long-term observation, called Biodiversity Observatories.
The SASSCAL ObservationNet forms one of the largest contributions to the global network of plot based observatories. Each Biodiversity Observatory forms an exactly surveyed square kilometer representative for an ecological zone. All Biodiversity Observatories serve for long-term observation of the change of diversity and composition of organisms and essential environmental key variables (regarding e.g. soil, climate, land use). Information, gained at these observatories can be extrapolated to a larger space. |
