Synthesis Themes

The LTER presently focuses on four Network-wide themes for scientific synthesis: future scenarios of change, inland climate change, the disappearing cryosphere, and coastal vulnerability. These common themes allow LTER sites to pool their knowledge of multiple ecosystems to achieve new understanding of fundamental ecological principles.
