The Environmental Change Network is a long-term, integrated research program for collecting, analysing and interpreting climate change data from 12 terrestrial and 45 freshwater monitoring sites in the United Kingdom. This information on the effects of and the reactions to environmental changes is provided in the form of physical, chemical and biological data.
Objectives:
Climate effects and impacts on the environmental are assessed with physical, chemical and biological variables and published in the form of standardised protocols (freshwater protocols and terrestrial protocols). The protocols can also be obtained online: https://ecn.ac.uk/measurements
A Targeted Monitoring Network for analysing the effects of climate change impacts and air pollution on biodiversity is being planned - the Environmental Change Biodiversity Network (ECBN).
Finance is being provided by various sponsors, which each fund one or more measuring stations:
Centre for Ecology and Hydrology
Besides the sponsors (see Financing) the following institutions are also involved in data acquisition:
