Analyze the effects of global change from the long-term study of ecosystems
About thirty attendees from universities and various state research centers worked on the 6th and 7th of November around the study of the different variables of Spanish ecosystems at the 11th annual meeting of the LTER long-term ecosystem research network (Long-Term Ecosystem Research according to its acronym in English), held in the Meeting Room Jacobo Cárdenas of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Cordoba (Spain).
The project of the European LTER network was born in 2003 to create a study framework that allows to know which variables are being affected by global change and how, with the aim of weaving a tool with which to deal with the adverse effects that this global change exerts on the different European ecosystems.
Through the collection of time series of climatic or edaphological variables affected by global change and the response of variables dependent on them, such as biomass production, vegetation growth, plant cycle changes or any other type of phenological variables a useful tool will be built to monitor the impacts that global change produces.

LTER is divided into regions that, in turn, are divided into nodes that are the different geographical areas in which these data are collected. Spain enters the LTER network in 2008 and its nodes include the locations of the Doñana National Park, the Aigüestortes National Park, Sierra Nevada, Tablas de Daimiel and Ordesa and Monte Perdido, among others. Some of the institutions responsible for directing research in these areas are the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC), the University of Granada, the Andalusian Center for the Evaluation and Monitoring of Global Change, the University of Almeria or the National Research Institute and Agricultural and Food Technology (INIA).
The theme that led this meeting to some extent is the inclusion of the LTER network in the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) created by the European Council that seeks to implement research infrastructures in Europe, so that in a period For five years, the work of the LTER network could be working like any other scientific tool.
In this meeting, inaugurated by the researcher of the Department of Botany, Ecology and Plant Physiology of the UCO Francisco Bonet-García and coordinator of LTER Spain, the progress made in each state node was made and the tasks corresponding to the incorporation of new members and the creation of internal operating protocols with the intention of obtaining the maximum efficiency of this research network.
