The Integrated European Long-Term Ecosystem, Critical Zone & Socio-Ecological Research Infrastructure

The Integrated European Long-Term Ecosystem, Critical Zone & Socio-Ecological Research Infrastructure (eLTER RI) comprises a wide range of highly instrumented European sites focusing on terrestrial, fresh- and transitional water ecosystems and also addressing socio-ecological interactions. Currently in the phase of preparing its operational implementation, it enables the in-situ and co-located acquisition and long-term preservation of ecosystem characteristics and Essential Variables ranging from biogeochemistry to biodiversity as well as socio-ecological characteristics. The RI provides and develops e-infrastructure for data managers, developers and scientists, including the Dynamic Ecological Information Management System – Site and Dataset Registry (DEIMS-SDR), the vocabulary service EnvThes, the eLTER Data Integration Portal (DIP) and Central Data Node (CDN).
