Chiayi Agricultural Experiment Branch was established on 1918. There are three research departments in Chiayi Agricultural Experiment Branch, include gardening, agriculture and plant protection. Gardening department researches subtropical fruit trees. Agriculture department studies the quality rice breeding, diversification breeding and overall rice breed. Plant protection researches pest prevention and cure of agriculture.

The Majorca site (12,000 m2) is located at Ses Sitjoles, in the southeast of the island. It offers an aquifer in a Miocene reefal limestone setting, highly permeable, with a number of meter-scale karstic cavities. Intensive farming and irrigation in this area have led to over-exploitation of the water tables, which has caused intrusions of salt water up to 15 km from the coast, resulting in chloride pollution of the water tables. The experimental site includes a network of twelve 100-m boreholes, six of which are fully cored. The site is monitored by a team from UMR Géosciences Montpellier.

The Shenyang experimental station of ecology is located at Shilihe village of Sujiatun district, 35 km from southern Shenyang. The Station was founded in 1987, and it was authorized by the Chinese Academy of Science as a key station of CERN in 1992, and then as one of the open stations for field research in 1997. Moreover, it became a National field research station in agro-ecosystem research in 2005.

The site is owned and managed by the Taiwan Agricultural Research Institute. This site is a part of Taiwan Long-Term Agricultural Research Site.

The hydrological research within the Harz/Central German Lowland Observatory is concentrated in the catchment area of the river Bode (catchment size approx. 3.300 km²). The detection of scale dependencies in flowpaths, run-off generation or residence times requires scale-related approaches of observation. Therefore, a nested approach including small process plots (< 2 km²), meso-scale subcatchments (approx. 100 km²) up to the scale of the complete Bode catchment will be established. A more detailed description of the hydrological observatory and the several intensive test sites can be found at www.tereno.net.

Carnarvon Experimental Farm (Biesieslaagte) is situated in the Nama Karoo Biome and has been conducting a grazing trial since 1988 in which various grazing senarios are tested

Fujinitayama site is in the Nasu Research station of NARO Institute of Livestock and Grassland science. This experiment started at 1974. In this site which was an abandoned pasture, M. sinensis had occupied at the start of this experiment. This site was divided into three plots, heavy grazing plot (144 head day ha–1 year–1), light grazing plot (73 head day ha-1 year-1), and control plot (non-treatment). In each plot, 20 quadrats were arranged and the coverage and height of all species were measured in every September. M. sinensis grassland which was adapted for mowing changed in Z. japonica grassland was adapted for grazing in both treatment plots. In addition, the dominant speed of Z. japonica in heavy grazing plot was higher than that of light grazing plot. However, Pinus densiflora invaded into all plots including a control plot. When P. densiflora was not cut down by man, it increased every year. So, it is difficult to maintain Z. japonica grassland only by cattle grazing.

The LTSER Northern Negev Platform includes four established LTER sites and the area between them. The area includes semi-arid scrubland, agriculture, forested areas of various densities, and various settled areas.

Linze Inland River Basin Comprehensive Research Station (Linze Staion), located in Linze County (39o21'N，100o07' E, a.s.l. 1367m), in the middle of the Hexi Corridor of Gansu Province, Northwest China, was first set up in 1975. It is subordinate to the Cold and Arid Regions Environmental and Engineering Research Institute, CAS. Since 2000, intensive research work has being carried out in Linze Station in response to the Knowledge Innovation Project of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Cold and Arid Regions Environmental and Engineering Research Institute. Linze Station was expanded and re-equipped in 2000 and was listed as a desert ecosystem research station of Chinese Ecosystem Research Network (CERN) in 2003. As the only station which can provide related conditions to conduct comprehensive studies on hydrology, soil, atmosphere and biology in Heihe river basin in China, Linze station undertakes to the long-term monitoring of the evolution of both desert ecosystem and oasis agricultural ecosystem and dedicates to the ecosystem management of the inland river basin, the rehabilitation of the ecological environments and the sustainable development of oasis.
