SCANNET SCANNET

SCANNET is a network of Terrestrial Field bases, Research Stations Managers and user groups that are collaborating to improve comparative

  • bservations and access to information on

Environmental Change in the North

www.scannet.nu

SCANNET was established 1st of February 2001 within the EU 5th Framework

The Arctic has been subject to recent large climate change and climate scenarios predicted most prominent changes at high latitudes Background Background -

  • The need for Coordinated Action

The need for Coordinated Action A suggested way to solve the puzzle is via sustained and coordinated monitoring

www.scannet.nu

Valuable long term information from observations and experiments based at research facilities within the region are underused and are sometimes inaccessible

Specific Specific objectives

from the outset

  • utset (2000)

(2000) Establish a network of field sites, covering the main environmental conditions in northern Europe Compile and compare existing data and information from field sites Improve comparability and coverage of long-term

  • bservations and experiments within the network

Improve access and relevance of data to researchers and to international organisations such as GTOS, AMAP, CAFF, EEA and ACIA

Some groups of organisms are recorded at all sites, for example birds, mammals and vascular plants, but information for some

soil organisms is poor.

Sample sizes of species groups and variables in the SCANNET meta database

A meta-database has been compiled on biological long term monitoring (150 species, 175 variables) in northern Europe, and particularly at the SCANNET sites.

The indicators assessed as most important vary among sites but included climate, habitat condition, animal and plant communities, approved planning applications, and environmental regulation compliance. Decision making workshops were held with local interest groups The local residents identified the most important indicators of change that could be used subsequently for environmental monitoring.

After EU funding After EU funding

The 9 sites signed a Memorandum of Understanding – we wanted to continue to work together The SCANNET Secretariat operates at the Abisko Scientific Research Station and our web site is continually updated We are an established Network, which is facilitating monitoring around the North Atlantic

We have a partnership with CEON and obtained some funding within CEON
