LT(S)ER: Open air laboratory Matsch/Mazia

Ricerca ecologica a lungo termine (LTSER) nel laboratorio all'aperto della Val Mazia

Project duration: January 2014 - December 2025
Project status: ongoing

Institute: Istituto per l'ambiente alpino

Ricerca a lungo termine e campagne di misurazione interdisciplinari sono condizioni fondamentali per poter descrivere le complesse dinamiche di effetto ed interazione del cambiamento climatico nelle regioni montane. Servendosi delle stazioni di misurazione allestite nell'ambito del progetto "Climate Change in South Tyrol", il progetto si propone di unificare diversi approcci scientifici e osservarne lo sviluppo a lungo termine. Concretamente si intende confrontare e combinare i dati relativi a: 1) analisi di processi 2) esperimenti di manipolazione 3) osservazioni lungo transetti su diverse scale (dal plot al paesaggio) e in base alle diverse forme di utilizzo del suolo (prati da sfalcio, pascolo, bosco). Per dare maggiore visibilitá a queste ricerche e per collocare i risultati ottenuti in un contesto piú ampio, si aspira a inserire l'area di ricerca descritta nella rete LTER. Parte del progetto prevede inoltre che parte dell'area di ricerca venga utilizzata dalla NASA nell'ambito della missione SMAP per rilevare dati sull'umiditá del terreno via satellite.
