The data produced at LTER sites inform many important challenges. Among-site comparisons help to understand how general ecological mechanisms change with local context. Modeling and forecasting efforts employ long term observations and experiments to generate testable predictions. Scaling exercises get at continental or even global interactions with human and economic consequences. LTER synthesis working groups… Read more »
In 2026, LTER launches a rescoped version of the synthesis skills course (SSECR) that we debuted in 2024 that is 100% online and open for all to apply. Deadline: March 31.
The LTER Network Office is excited to announce that three Scientific Peers Advancing Research Collaborations (SPARC) proposals were funded this year. The three groups will meet in person at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis for one week, starting in the fall.
The data produced at LTER sites are an extraordinary scientific resource that can inform a wide variety of questions. Among-site comparisons interrogate the generality of effects observed at particular sites. Modeling efforts employ long term observations and experiments to formulate and test rigorous descriptions of theory. Scaling exercises get at the continental or even global… Read more »

The CoRRE Working Group continues to develop new ways to study plant community change across the globe.
Marine LTER sites come together to synthesize how consumer-mediated nutrient dynamics are changing throughout time and in response to disturbances.
The Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Network Office is excited to announce that two new synthesis working groups will launch in 2024.
As ecological trends change with a changing climate, the Hubbard Brook Online Book will continue to reflect the most current understanding of the forest ecosystem whenever it is read.
The APEAL project uses the LTER Network to study how research networks can improve public engagement strategies, offer insights from scientists and communities, and foster actionable plans to inspire change. By Cristina Mancilla, Community Engagement Officer at the LTER Network Office Often, the narrative around public engagement is one of vague commitments and good intentions,… Read more »
