The first in-person eLTER meeting of the platform coordinators took place in Lunz from 2-5 October. 70 representatives of the eLTER community from 21 European countries exchanged information on long-term ecological research within the European eLTER infrastructure. At the same time, there was an opportunity to learn about the analytical and experimental facilities at WassercLuster. In beautiful autumn weather, Christian Preiler led the participants to the pond 'Obersee'. Photos: ©Jens Nejstgaard
