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.
