The pan-European eLTER Research Infrastructure (eLTER RI) has been included on the ESFRI 2018 roadmap. This is a significant achievement for the European ecosystem, critical zone and socio-ecological research communities. It paves the way for the further development and formalization of eLTER RI. When fully operational, eLTER RI will be a permanently funded and managed distributed infrastructure of field stations covering European environmental zones, including the Doñana Natural Area,  through the Estación Biológica de Doñana (EBD-CSIC)
