摘要：The paper briefl describes both retrospective establishing and recent status of the Czech Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) network. It emerged during the early 1990s, was formally established from six UNESCO Biosphere Reserves and two water reservoir sites in 1996, and gradually has evolved into the current network, which consists of more than twenty LTER sites covering various temperate forests, grasslands, wetlands, and freshwaters in the Czech Republic. Long-term data series have indicated changes in land use, eutrophication, atmospheric sulphur and nitrogen deposition, or climate. In addition, the network includes a post-mining area to study soil formation and early succession, as well as an exterritorial LTER site of tropical rain forest at Papua-New Guinea.
