Site Description
Station Linné has its roots in the Uppsala University Research Station on Öland. The research station is situated in Ölands Skogsby, adjacent to Stora Alvaret and the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Södra Ölands odlingslandskap”. The station was inaugurated in 1963 and was run by Uppsala University until June 30, 2008. Since May 1, 2010, however, the station is run by an independent foundation, the Station Linné Foundation (Stiftelsen Station Linné).
