Description
Summary:The mega-transect approach is a unique infrastructure which was developed in Tomsk State University for environmental monitoring and landscape-ecological research. The approach can be followed in all seasons, for field sampling, ground-based research on the field stations in combination with remote sensing and ecosystem manipulations. The mega-transect was established as a framework for the concept of Western Siberia as a natural mega-facility, a kind of natural equivalent to CERN's Large Hadron Collider, to attract leading international research groups. The paper describes cases of Russian Federation Federal target Programme and Siberian Inland Waters Joint Programming Initiative Climate EU Programme as examples of the large-scale international projects which are now resulting.
