ECN currently has 12 terrestrial sites and 42 freshwater sites. Standardised recording began at most terrestrial sites in 1993 and covers sets of 'core' measurements on:
- Meteorology
- Surface water drainage
- Surface water quality
- Atmospheric chemistry
- Precipitation chemistry
- Soil solution chemistry
- Soils
- Vegetation
- Invertebrates
- Vertebrates
- Site management
- Wildlife data on freshwater invertebrates
- Macrophytes, phytoplankton, zooplankton and diatoms
