Welcome to TEMS!
What is TEMS?
TEMS, the Terrestrial Ecosystem Monitoring Sites database, is an international directory
of sites (named T.Sites) and networks that carry out long-term, terrestrial
in-situ monitoring and research activities. The system provides information
on the "who, what and where"
that can be useful to both the scientific community and policy-makers.
GTOS/TEMS has recently completed an agreement with EcoPort RSA aimed at demonstrating
the potentiality of a close collaboration between the two systems.
EcoPort is a ‘wiki’-like database containing inter-disciplinary information about
biodiversity. Individuals can add information such as pictures, documents, links
to the “entity” (record) of interest and contribute in this way to create knowledge
by integrating data in a communal database.
A special guide has been created that will lead you
through the experimental TEMS/Ecoport integrated system.
Please, take few minutes of your time to read over this document and play around with the system; at the end, don't forget to send us your feedbacks.
If you are a site manager, you should have received the guide via email along with a
short survey to assess your opinion and stimulate your thoughts on the future of
TEMS and its most desirable characteristics. If you haven't, please contact us at gtos@fao.org
Where do I start?
Within each section you will find a small introduction and explanation on
how to use the part of TEMS you have selected. Alternatively, click on the
following links to access three video tutorials on how to use TEMS and retrieve
