Database - Overview

The database is operating since March 1997 and provides information on about 1.500 research units, experts and projects dealing with forest ecosystem research in Europe. The database covers the whole European region including also research outside Universities and also research carried out in Eastern Europe.

In the EFERN project database only meta-information, needed to identify projects (title and keywords) and  project participants (research units and experts), is stored. If available, links point to the Internet homepages of the research units where full project information can be found.

Data entry and update is done by users via www-online forms and by the database administration.

For security reasons new data and updates sent via WWW are transmitted into an updating database. They are checked technically by EFERN staff before they are made publicly available. This may last a few days.

If you are involved in a research project dealing with any aspect of forest ecosystems in Europe, you are welcome to submit your data.
