Financing

The European Long-term treeline Ecosystem Research (eLTER) site Stillberg, Switzerland, was established in 1975. In almost 50 years, we have collected a wealth of ecological and environmental data. With this ETH-Domain ORD Program Contribute Project we aim at curating and uploading the existing data to national and international ORD platforms (EnviDat, DEIMS-SDR). The enhanced data availability and quality will foster transdisciplinary global research syntheses, improving our understanding of long-term ecosystem processes and supporting the development of adequate adaptation strategies.
