Climate effects on ANPP of saltmarshes of the North American Atlantic coast – a hierarchical model approach

Posted January 16, 2023 in Working Groups

Goals. We propose to synthesize data on saltmarsh production from 3 LTER sites and 4 additional sites to generate a comprehensive understanding of the factors driving variation in salt marsh primary production, and how these factors vary geographically.

Development and analysis of a database of Landsat Thematic Mapper imagery to support cross-site research

Posted January 16, 2023 in Working Groups

Goals and ObjectivesWe propose to generate a cross-site database of existing Landsat TM satellite imagery covering each of the 26 current sites in the LTER network from 1985-present. We will then collaborate with researchers from a subset of sites to create higher-level cross-site data products including atmospherically corrected surface reflectance data and time-series maps of… Read more »

Responses of ecosystem productivity to Critical Climate Periods; understanding the role of fine-scale temporal climate patterns on ecosystem productivity

Posted January 16, 2023 in Working Groups

Goals and Hypotheses Based on this conceptual framework and the ability of CCP analyses to improve our understanding of ecosystem processes over annual climate characteristics at KNZ we propose to expand this CCP analysis to all terrestrial LTER sites. In addition to the site-level understanding of plant production with CCPs, a broader understanding of ecosystem… Read more »

Ecosystem response to changing ice, snow and permafrost in a warming climate.

Posted January 16, 2023 in Working Groups

This workshop was organized and convened by MCM (Andrew Fountain) and PAL (Hugh Ducklow). The purpose of the workshop was to examine the role of diminished snow and ice on ecosystem structure and function and on ecosystem services across the diverse habitats found in the LTER Network. The longer-term goal is to synthesize existing knowledge… Read more »

Web Services Working Group Product-Oriented Working Group Support Request and Statement of Work Summary Statement The Web Services Working Group (WSWG) was established at the 2009 IMC meeting in response to a recognized need for guidelines in implementing a web service-oriented architecture in the LTER Network Information System. The WSWG has also been tasked by… Read more »

Finding the Data: Enhancing the Utility of the LTER Controlled Vocabulary

Posted January 16, 2023 in Working Groups

Unfortunately, efficient and reliable searches are not currently possible because of eclectic application of keywords in LTER metadata. Most existing keywords are used by only a single LTER site, or worse yet, in only a single dataset, making them unsuitable for identifying data for cross-site syntheses. To address this problem, the LTER Information Management Committee… Read more »
