LTER Austria presented and published a new
White Paper for long-term ecosystem research in Austria at an international
conference in Vienna last week (February 19, 2015). The
aim of the White Paper is European networking and concerted financing of environment
and ecosystem research to secure a coordinated approach. A research cluster
should be implemented to coordinate different activities and facilities and
make an important contribution to the European ecosystem-research. The
long-term ecosystem research focuses on better understanding and analyzing on
ecosystems structures, functions, and long-term responses to climate change,
invasive species, substances and human activities. The results of the long-term
series of measurement deliver an important source of information for political
decision makers. Since 2012 the
Interfaculty Department of Geoinformatics is a member of the LTER network
contributing to the LTER AT site
Mondsee. Since 2014 Z_GIS also coordinates the LTER site Stubacher
Sonnblickkees.
