The Sensitivity of Ecosystems to Climate Change: Bringing LTER Observations and Experiments to Bear on Predictive Capabilities

(1) What have LTER observations told us about the climate sensitivity of ecosystem processes at different time scales?; (2) What have LTER experiments told us about the climate sensitivity of ecosystem processes at different time scales?; (3) What progress has been made in bringing LTER observations and experiments to bear on improving the ability to predict the response of ecosystems to scenarios of future climate change?
