Rozvoj a posilnenie dlhodobého ekologického výskumu vybraných typov ekosystémov
Development and strengthening of long-term ecological research of selected types of ecosystems.
Program: VEGA
Project leader: RNDr. Gajdoš Peter, CSc.
Annotation: The project is aimed at the development of long-term ecological research of selected ecosystems in Slovakia as a contribution to building the national part of the distributed European research infrastructure eLTER (eLTER RI). eLTER RI formulated the principles of a holistic, systemic approach to the study of ecosystems through a set of so-called standard observations. The main goal of the project is to achieve a comprehensive study of selected ecosystems by supplementing standard observations, improving instrumentation and introducing new research methods. These improvements will enable us to better, more comprehensively address the eLTER challenges of biodiversity, climate change, eutrophication and chemical pollution. We will pay increased attention to the data management compatible with eLTER standards and data accessibility for use. Part of the project is the continuation of the long-term study of air pollution in Slovakia using bryophytes with a focus on forest and selected non-forest ecosystems.
