Research site Neustift

The research site Neustift is embedded in an agricultural landscape at the bottom of Stubai valley at 970 m a.s.l. The site is equipped with a container supplied with electricity, wlan and air conditioning, containing measuring instruments and data storage devices. Sensors in the field measure biogeochemical cycles (i.a. eddy covariance) and other environmental parameters.

Current research projects at this site are about changes in the biogeochemical cycles mentioned above and in the resulting physiological and taxonomical adaptations of the vegetation, but there is also socioecological research on agricultural driven changes in landscape and ecosystem services.

The research site Neustift is part of the LTER (Long-Term Ecosystem Research) site Stubai and the LTSER platform Tyrolean Alps and is incorporated in the global FLUXNET network (FLUXNET ID: AT-Neu).
