Site Description
The Puding Karst Ecosystem Research Station (PUKERS) is located in Shawan (262207N, 1054506E, 1158 m), which is 5 km north of Puding City in central Guizhou Province, southwestern China. The main station has an area of 11.2 ha. Laboratories, offices, accommodations, and meeting rooms occupy ca. 3000 m2. The PUKERS, as one of the only two monitoring and research stations of karst ecosystems of CERN, generally aims to provide long-term, permanent monitoring and investigation of karst ecosystems in 3D and comprehensive approaches. A technical standard of ecosystem monitoring for karst landscape will then be established. The structure, functions, patterns, and processes of karst ecosystems on the Guizhou Plateau will be revealed ...
