  • Beijing Urban Ecosystem Research Station is located in Beijing. Urban ecosystem is a complex social-economic-ecological system dominated by human beings. Urban ecological elements, including climate, atmosphere, hydrology, soil, organisms, etc, and ecological process such as material flow, energy flow, etc, are products of interaction between human activity and natural environment. These will evolve with variation of the human-nature relation as well. Beijing is the center of policy, economy, culture, science and technology in China and it is also an international metropolis. Beijing covers 16,400 km2 (built area is 1204 km2) with population of more than 15, 810,000 in 2006. Beijing urban ecosystem research station was based on State Key Laboratory of Urban and regional Ecology, Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences and started constructing in 2001, consisting of monitoring net, indoor specimen analysis and conservation room, information data management and analysis room and official documentation room. Up till now, laboratories concerning air, water, soil and microorganism have been set up engaging in research of Beijing urban ecosystem’s structure, typical process and function.

  • Ubicada al final de la cuenca del Río Actopan (ladera oriente del Cofre de Perote con fragmentos de bosque mesófilo de montaña, agroecosistemas y poblados), La Mancha es el último refugio de selva mediana subcaducifolia en la vertiente del Golfo. Contiene otros importantes ecosistemas costeros (manglar, dunas, selva baja, arrecifes, laguna costera), y es sitio de paso y descanso de aves migratorias. Presenta alta biodiversidad y una dinámica ecosistémica compleja. Es la zona costera del Golfo de México más estudiada en el país. Sitio RAMSAR desde 2005. Se localizan los últimos relictos de selva desarrollada sobre suelos arenosos y es ruta de aves migratorias rapaces mas importante a nivel mundial.

  • Here we describe the characteristics of an observation plot within Mediterranean Forests LTER Italy site. The name of the plot is SIC1 Ficuzza. It belongs to the Italian branch of the ICP Forests Network (CONECOFOR) but it is managed by the Sicily Agency

  • Los trabajos en Los Tuxtlas se concentran principalmente en la Estación de Biología Tropical “Los Tuxtlas” de la UNAM y sus areas aledañas. La Estación de Biologia Tropical Los Tuxtlas se ubica sobre la carretera Catemaco-Monte Pío en el municipio de San Andrés Tuxtla, Veracruz, México. La vegetaciónes es bosque primario conocido como selva alta perennifolia. Es internacionalmente reconocida como uno de los sitios con mayor investigación en ecología de selvas en el mundo. Se realiza investigación en fragmentos cercanos con ecosistemas razonablemente conservados y otros perturbados. También se estudian algunos cuerpos de agua mayores, como las lagunas Escondida y Zacatal. Recientemente el estudio de la ecología de potreros y acahuales adyacentes ha sido importante. Por otro lado es conocido como un "hotspot" de biodiversidad.

  • VCU's research station positioned on the north bank of the James River Estuary. This site houses many upland and wetland ecosystems. The marshes on the property were once damned (1920s) to create a recreational lake. In 2011 VCU removed the levy, and has been monitoring marsh restoration and recruitment.
