For the 2018 LTER Science Council Meeting in Madison, Wisconsin, each site gave a 5 minutes overview of site news and a few results focusing on organic matter trends, processing, or transport. The process offered food for thought as science council participants broke into working groups to develop approaches to synthesizing organic matter findings.

Disturbance Framework Webinar Information
WEBINAR REGISTRATION Over the last several decades, disturbance has become a commonly recognized driver of the dynamics of ecological systems. Long-term ecological research is uniquely positioned to address the three challenges of disturbance: that events can be both positive and negative, that theoretically frameworks are comprehensive enough for driving empirical generality, and that disturbance can alter… Read more »
From Plankton to Penguins: 2018 NSF LTER Symposium focuses on Ocean Connections
The connections between humans and oceans run deep. Kelp forests, plankton, estuaries, and coral reefs support robust and diverse food webs, feeding both body and spirit. The destructive effects of big storms are tempered by marshes and mangroves—sometimes to their benefit and sometimes their detriment. Currents, migrations, climate, and nutrients connect ecosystems and the… Read more »
