Setting Up Optimal Meteorological Networks: An Example From Italy

A permanent assessment of climate regime in forest sites has a key role resource conservation and preservation ecosystem services, biodiversity landscape multi-functionality, informing sustainable management. In this view, time-series meteorological data relative to several monitoring from the ICP-Forest network Italy, were analyzed with aim define number site-specific observations, which can be considered adequate for further analysis on The importance each factor accounted our (season, year, variable, plot, sampling proportion) was investigated comparing results through use descriptive statistics.
