The European LTER network was established in 2005 in Balatonföldvár (Hungary) in a meeting organized by Lajos Vörös. It has 21 members recently and it is the most developing regional network of ILTER. The European LTER plays a key role in the international and socio-political integration of the ecological knowledge. |
