Unique profile of Research Stations that build on shared scientific goals and methodologies
The backbone of SITES is nine active and well-equipped research stations (including associated Bolmen Research Station), which cover diverse habitats and climate zones across Sweden, including agricultural land, forests, wetlands, mountains, lakes and streams.
