On November 25-26, an in-person Steering group meeting was organized at the Skogaryd Research Catchment, one of SITES research stations. At the meeting, Steering Group and SITES Secretariat members gathered to discuss important topics about the network’s future, such as strategic planning, research station support, and collaboration agreements to strengthen the network.
The group took a tour of the Följemaden rewetting site, where previously drained riparian fen that was used for forestry for decades has now been rewetted as part of an experiment focused on GHG emissions.
The meeting ended with a strong commitment to continue supporting important ecosystem research in Sweden and strengthening ties with researchers from Sweden and beyond.
