Stream Research in the LTER Network
1993. PDF and Hard-copy.

This report describes stream research (physical, chemical and biological characteristics) as was conducted at 12 sites in the LTER Network in 1993.

While the conceptual framework guiding research differs widely across sites, common themes are considered, including geomorphologic and riparian controls of ecosystem function and response to and recovery from disturbance.

This monograph is an assembly of papers and presentations made by scientists during a workshop on El Nino and Long Term Ecological Research sites held in September 20, 1993 at the LTER All Scientists Meeting at Estes Park, Colorado. (Available in print only)

This BioSciences issue features two important papers with nearly identical titles:
Long-Term Ecological Research and the Invisible Present (1990) by John J. Magnuson and Long-Term Ecological Research and the Invisible Place (1990) by Fredrick J. Swanson and Richard E. Sparks.
Both argue the case for long term ecological observations.

1990s Global Change Action Plan Utilizing a Network of Ecological Research Sites. This is a report of the proceedings of a workshop held November 1989, in Denver, Colorado. The workshop proposed a plan for an integrated program of research by the existing network of long-term ecological research sites to focus on the causes and effects, and the interactions between terrestrial organisms, ecological processes, and Global Change.

Environmental justice (EJ) is the principle that all people have the right to equal protection from environmental laws and the right to participate in environmental decision making. A major component of EJ is the study of environmental equity, the analysis of the spatial distribution of environmental hazards (disamenities) in

(1) What have LTER observations told us about the climate sensitivity of ecosystem processes at different time scales?; (2) What have LTER experiments told us about the climate sensitivity of ecosystem processes at different time scales?; (3) What progress has been made in bringing LTER observations and experiments to bear on improving the ability to predict the response of ecosystems to scenarios of future climate change?
