The Ecological Experimental Station (EES) was founded in the Kremnick\u00e9 vrchy Mountains (Western Carpathians, Slovakia) in 1986. It is located at 500 m a.s.l., on SW slope. The leading stand-forming association is Dentario bulbiferae-Fagetum Z l a t n i k 1935, with locally admixed Carici pilosae-Fagetum O b e r d. 1958. For both associations, to the permanent constituents (at different dominances and abundances) belong: Carex pilosa, Carex sylvatica, Carex digitata, Galium odoratum, Dentaria bulbifera, Anthyrium filix-femina, Dryopteris filix-mas. The dominant tree species at the locality is beech (80\u201395%); fir, oak and hornbeam are the associated species. The soil type is andic cambisol with high skeleton content (20\u201360%) and mild acid reaction (pH 5.4\u20136.4), the humus form is acid mull. The long-term mean (1951\u20131980) annual air temperature is approximately 6.8 \u00b0C, with a mean of 17 \u00b0C in the warmest month (July) and - 4 \u00b0C in the coldest month (January). The mean annual precipitation is approximately 780 mm. An increasing value (+1.1 \u00b0C) of the mean annual air temperature was observed during the last two decades; however, the mean annual precipitation did not change significantly. The site is equipped with a few climatic microstations, collectors for precipitation and litterfall, lysimeters, dendrometers, etc.","citation":null,"relatedIdentifiers":null,"status":{"label":"Operational","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/elter_cl\/10772"},"yearEstablished":1986,"yearClosed":null,"relatedSites":null,"siteName":"Kremnicke vrchy Ecological Experimental Station","shortName":"EES Kremnicke vrchy","siteType":"Stationary land-based site","protectionLevel":null,"landUse":null,"images":[{"url":"https:\/\/deims.org\/sites\/default\/files\/photos\/DSC02031_0.JPG","alt":"Ecological Experimental Station - control plot"},{"url":"https:\/\/deims.org\/sites\/default\/files\/photos\/IMAG0532.jpg","alt":"not defined"},{"url":"https:\/\/deims.org\/sites\/default\/files\/photos\/growth.JPG","alt":"not defined"},{"url":"https:\/\/deims.org\/sites\/default\/files\/photos\/beech%2520regeneration.jpg","alt":"natural regeneration of the beech forest"},{"url":"https:\/\/deims.org\/sites\/default\/files\/photos\/teabag1.jpg","alt":"experiment with tea bags"},{"url":"https:\/\/deims.org\/sites\/default\/files\/photos\/kremnicke-vrchy-ecological-experimental-station-slovakia_6333.jpg","alt":"gateway to the Ecological Experimental Station"},{"url":"https:\/\/deims.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2023-05\/EES%202003a.jpg","alt":"google map"},{"url":"https:\/\/deims.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2023-05\/IMAG5033.jpg","alt":"humidity and temperature datalogger"},{"url":"https:\/\/deims.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2023-05\/IMG_20170606_144224.jpg","alt":"canopy closure"},{"url":"https:\/\/deims.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2023-05\/fence%20repair.jpg","alt":"fence repair"},{"url":"https:\/\/deims.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2023-05\/soil%20water%20extraction%20by%20a%20vacuum.jpg","alt":"soil water extraction by a vacuum"}]},"environmentalCharacteristics":{"airTemperature":{"yearlyAverage":7.9,"monthlyAverage":null,"unit":"\u00b0C","referencePeriod":null},"precipitation":{"yearlyAverage":750,"monthlyAverage":null,"unit":"mm","referencePeriod":null},"biogeographicalRegion":"alpine","biome":"deciduous_forest","ecosystemType":[{"label":"Deciduous Forest","uri":null},{"label":"Forest","uri":null}],"eunisHabitat":[{"label":"Beech woodland (G1.6)","uri":null},{"label":"Broadleaved deciduous woodland (G1)","uri":null},{"label":"Mixed deciduous and coniferous woodland (G4)","uri":null},{"label":"Mixed fir - spruce - beech woodland (G4.6)","uri":null},{"label":"Woodland, forest and other wooded land (G)","uri":null}],"landforms":null,"geoBonBiome":["Terrestrial"],"geology":"andesite-tuff agglomerates","hydrology":"terrestrial","soils":"the soil type is Andic cambisol with high skeleton content (20 - 60%) and mild acid reaction (pH 5.4-6.4), the humus form is acid mull.","vegetation":"The leading stand-forming association is Dentario bulbiferae-Fagetum Z l a t n i k 1935, with locally admixed Carici pilosae-Fagetum O b e r d. 1958.
