Ecosystem science in an agricultural landscape

SITES Röbäcksdalen

SITES is a nationally co-ordinated infrastructure for terrestrial and limnological field research. The network extends throughout Sweden with different ecosystems and climatic zones from agriculture lands, forest, cultivated forest to mires, streams, lakes and alpines.

Röbäcksdalen research station represents an agricultural landscape where animals are included (e.g. manure, leys, pasture). We offer good possibilities for studies of sustanability, effects of climate changes and agroecology in farming systems containing animals.
