The LTER Network

LTER 2012 Annual ReportView the LTER 2012 Annual Report (.pdf)

The Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) Network was created by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 1980 to conduct research on ecological issues that can last decades and span huge geographical areas.

For more than three decades, the Network has generated rigorous, site-based scientific research that has led to important findings on regional and continental scales.
