After undergoing a rigorous quality assurance process, Mycklemossen at the Skogaryd Research Catchment (SRC) has achieved the status of an ICOS-labelled station. This certification was confirmed by the ICOS General Assembly on November 6th, 2024.
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.
Are you interested in conducting mesocosm experiments on lakes? SITES AquaNet provides a standardized infrastructure for running mesocosm studies across various lakes. This system features floating platforms with mesocosm enclosures, automatic sensors linked to a data-logging system, and handheld sensors for precise measurements. In this video you can find more information about SITES AquaNet!
Hot off the press, the secretariat together with the team from Skogaryd Research Catchment just updated one of the core time series within the station´s SITES Water program. You can now access all water chemistry data through the end of 2022 coming from Skogaryd´s extensive monitoring in their sub-catchments (see overview map).
Open access to the chemistry data from the streams and the lake Erssjön can be found here:
The run-off scenario mesocosm experiment was set-up 5 times in a total in three lakes: in Bolmen and Erken in the summer of 2022 and in Bolmen, Erken, and Erssjön in the spring of 2023.
SITES Skogaryd Research Catchment is connected to the strategic research area Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in a Changing Climate (BECC), which brings together scientists from Lund University and University of Gothenburg to perform research essential to the sustainable management of ecosystems and biodiversity. Skogaryd Research Catchment offers BECC researchers access to field studies on a variety of ecosystems, i.e. mires, mature and young forests, lakes and streams.
