The international SCIN-project aims to achieve both better appreciation of the functioning and importance of biological soil crusts (BSCs) in Europe including four different sites in Spain, Germany, Austria, and Sweden, and to transfer scientific output to local authorities and stakeholders in order to ensure a better territorial protection. The project lasts 3 years (2011 – 2014) and is integrated within the pan-European BiodivERsA – a network of national funding organisations (www.biodiversa.org/). Six research groups and over 15 scientists from the Universities of Madrid (Spain), Salzburg and Graz (Austria), Kaiserslautern and Kiel (Germany), and the Natural History Museum of Stockholm (Sweden) participate in this project. Coordinator is prof. Burkhard Büdel from the University of Kaiserslautern (buedel@rhrk.uni-kl.de). After one year, first results have been achieved from all research groups, and in this paper comparison of soil physiochemical properties and vegetation differences between the four sites are reported. The results illustrate the unique situation of the alpine Hochtor site (Hohe Tauern, Grossglockner, Austria) relative to the other climatically different sites in Spain, Germany and Sweden.
