Facilitating cross-synthesis research
An effort to overhaul local management informatics systems with robust content management solutions, the proposed workshop will be an opportunity to further advance towards synthesis products based on the conceptual…
The Impacts of Within Season Rainfall Variability Across Ecosystems
We propose to use existing LTER data to create a synthesis paper addressing how intra-annual rainfall variability affects productivity and relative abundance of plant species in communities across the range…
An LTER Unit Registry: In Support of Data Integration
The goal of the Unit Working Group is development of an LTER Unit Registry and a Dictionary as a community resource package using a process that incorporates site engagement and…
Predicting the Influence of Inland Climate Change on Continental-Scale Carbon and Nutrient Processing in River Networks
A follow up workshop for a synthesis and modeling paper that builds on a workshop held at the LTER ASM 2009 meeting in Estes Park, CO (“Quantifying carbon and nutrient…
Soil Organic Matter Dynamics: A Cross-Ecosystem Approach
I would like to propose a 2-day meeting in 2010 bringing together scientists from any and all LTER sites interested in comparative soil organic matter analysis. One day would be…
From Molecules to Metadata: MIRADA LTERS Follow-up Working Group Meeting
MIRADA-LTERS is an NSF-funded cross-site comparative microbial inventory project that seeks to document, describe and discover baseline and novel diversity in the bacterial, archaeal and eukaryal domains of life across…
Identifying the benefits and barriers to graduate student urban cross‐site socioecological research
We request funding to complete a peer-reviewed manuscript establishing a framework for successful graduate student cross-site socio-ecological research. This manuscript will build upon ideas generated at the LTER 2009 All…
Landscape Vulnerability and Resilience to Climate Change and Land Use Change
The central US grasslands can serve as a test-bed that will allow us to build on a legacy of past LTER research while testing basic ecological theory that can facilitate…
Engaging Arts/Humanities in Future Scenarios Work
We propose to hold a workshop to explore challenges, opportunities, and potential outcomes of engaging the humanities and arts in consideration of future scenarios of landscape change in the face…
