In line with the European Commission’s commitment to Open Science and the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable), research data generated in PRESINMED will be free and openly accessible.
Data management
The Data Management team at the University of Granada (Sierra Nevada site) designs, coordinates and updates the Data Management Plan together with the work-package leaders. The project reuses historical data from GLORIA and LTER and generates new data of two kinds:
Remote sensing
Satellite-derived essential variables and metrics (Sentinel, Landsat, MODIS, Planet, WorldView) and hyperspectral imagery.
In-situ sensors
Networks of microstations recording soil and air temperature and humidity, soil CO₂ and respiration.
Field observation and experiments
Vegetation plots, arthropods, birds, herbivory, tourism impacts, exclosures and restoration experiments.
All data are integrated in a centralised relational database (PostgreSQL).
