Central elements of the TERENO network are “terrestrial observatories” at the catchment
scale which were selected in climate sensitive regions of Germany for the regional analyses
of climate change impacts. Within these observatories small scale research facilities and test
areas are placed in order to accomplish energy, water, carbon and nutrient process studies
across the different compartments of the terrestrial environment. Following a hierarchical
scaling approach (point-plot-field) these detailed information and the gained knowledge will …
