Swedish Infrastructure for Ecosystem Science (SITES)
The Swedish Infrastructure for Ecosystem Science (SITES) is a national research infrastructure coordinating several field stations for land-based climate, environmental and ecosystem research. Together, the stations cover widely differing types of nature and climate zones – from agricultural landscapes, forest land, mountain regions and wetlands to various types of inland waters.
The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences hosts SITES. Other participating higher education institutions and organisations include Uppsala University, University of Gothenburg, Stockholm University and the Polar Research Secretariat.
The Council for Research Infrastructures (RFI) funds this research infrastructure, which the Swedish Research Council considers to be in the national interest.
