The Representativeness of the Existing Network of Ecological and Climatic Stations Eddy Covariance for the Territory of Russia was analyzed
Within the framework of the May series of scientific seminars of the laboratory, the report of researchers Anna Derkacheva and Robert Sandlerskiy "Results of the analysis of the representativeness of the existing network of ecological and climatic stations (EX) for the territory of Russia" was presented. The primary assessment of geographical representativeness of 29 ecological and climatic stations for climate, relief, soils and vegetation is given. Based on the Random forest method, both for all stations and for each one separately, territories with similar environmental parameters and territories whose physical and geographical conditions are not covered by observations in any way were identified.
