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 »
An LTER cross site synthesis effort reveals that soil carbon availability determines nitrogen mineralization and nitrification rates across a wide diversity of terrestrial ecosystems.
The LTER Network Office hired two data analysts, Angel Chen and Nick Lyon, in 2021 to tackle short but critical wrangling tasks during working groups’ in-person meetings. Here’s how they’ve helped groups during the past year.
The LTER is excited to welcome seven new Synthesis Working Groups in 2023!
Ecosystems resist devastation from hurricanes by choosing either of two strategies: high resistance or high resilience.
A new global data synthesis of stream chemistry indicates human activities reduce streams ability to retain and transform nutrients.
LTER network scientists work together to reveal key trends in organic matter processing, storage and transport across ecosystems.
Synthesis working groups rely heavily on in-person collaboration. Free-flowing debate on goals and methods carries over from afternoon workshops through shared dinners. There’s little substitute for the immediacy of cooking up an analytical approach, scripting it onsite, discussing results, and making revisions — all within a few hours. And the easy availability of technical, analytical… Read more »
The LTER Synchrony Synthesis group links richness synchrony to ecosystem stability in a new study, showing synchrony is a key control on ecosystem functions.
