52. Opportunites
and
challenges
Ø Using
physically
models
in
real
contexts
is
someOmes
more
Ome-‐consuming
than
doing
real
experiments.
Ø A
deep
knowledge
of
the
system
is
needed
for
set-‐up
proper
assumpOons
in
model
parameterizaOon
(a
lot
on
unknown
informaOon).
Ø
Great
tools
for
tesOng
hypotheses
and
generalize
results.
53. Opportunites
and
challenges
Ø The
parOcularly
dry
area
represents
a
unique
chance
to
study
climate
change
allowing
predicOons
of
future
climate
on
mountain
ecosystems.
Ø The
eleva=on
transect
allows
for
experimental
and
numerical
invesOgaOon
on
effects
of
elevaOon
on
eco-‐hydrological
processes.
Ø The
site
allows
interdisciplinary
observaOons
of
relevant
eco-‐hydrological
processes
in
a
human-‐
influenced
mountain
region.
Ø The
climaOc
condiOons
of
Val
Mazia
may
allow
interesOng
comparisons
among
different
mountain
sites
of
the
MRI
/
LTER
network.
Ø Chance
to
be
part
of
a
well
organized
and
good
structured
scien=fic
network.
