\u201cUpgrading distributed scientific infrastructure \u201cBulgarian Network for Long-Term Ecosystem Research (LTER-BG)\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Bulgarian National Long-term ecosystem research network (LTER-Bulgaria) is starting the project \u201cUpgrading the distributed scientific infrastructure\u201d. The project has been launched with an online kick-off meeting on January 21, 2021.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The aim of LTER-BG is to streamline collection of scientific information on biodiversity conservation and sustainable management of the ecosystems and their services. The existing scientific infrastructure will be upgraded and will enable extending the range of standard observations from centralized activities and distributed physical infrastructure. Data will be collected from seven observation sites in Bulgaria: Petrohan-Ponor, Black Sea, Mesta River, Sozopol \u2013 Black Sea, Srebarna and Parangalitsa. One new socio-ecological platform in Belasitsa Mountain\u2019s Castanea Sativa forests was established. The selected sites represent most of the major ecosystem types in Bulgaria \u2013 several forest types, marine and coastal ecosystems, rivers and wetlands.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research \u2013 Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (BAS) coordinates the project. The University of Forestry, Sofia, the Institute of Oceanology \u201cFritjof Nansen\u201d \u2013 BAS and the Forest Research Institute – BAS are the consortium partners. The project is implemented within the National Roadmap for Research Infrastructure (2020-2027) and the financial support from the Ministry of Education and Science.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
