The consistency and longevity of the LTER Network has led to the development of many tools, databases, and best practices that are useful beyond the Network. An exhaustive catalog of such resources would be impossible. On these pages, you’ll find resources that are particularly relevant to the operation of the Network at this point in time.
Some additional LTER-related resources can be found in the working group archive, the LTER intranet (historical documents and meeting notes), and the Environmental Data Initiative.
If there are additional resources that you think belong here, please contact the LTER Network Office to discuss them.
