Advancing the Sharing and Synthesis of Ecological Data: Guidelines for Data Sharing and Integration
1. Develop general strategy for data collection, processing, and distribution that builds on scientist-data manager partnerships to produce data compilations useful for cross-site, long-term synthesis and modeling activities. 2. Develop specific strategy for NPP within the LTER community.
The influence of changes in terrestrial plant community structure on aquatic ecosystem function across the LTER network
Synthesis Riparian zones help maintain regional biodiversity,4 and we hypothesize that alterations to these ecotones could have large impacts on aquatic ecosystem function. Two examples from LTER sites illustrate this hypothesis. Current declines in eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) resulting from woolly adelgid (Adelges tsugae) infestations are altering riparian tree community composition5 and ecosystem function6 in… Read more »

Synthesis Papers and Research Proposal from the Maps and Locals (MALS) Project
The MALS project is a collaborative effort to develop common methods for research on social-ecological systems at the LTER network scale. We request funding to help support a cross-site comparative analysis, produce final products of the MALS collaborative effort, and build on the MALS experience to plan for future cross-site research. To meet this objective… Read more »
Invertebrate Impacts on Ecosystem Services under Climate Change: A Synthesis Using Insights from the LTER Network
We request funds to conduct a meeting at Harvard Forest in April, 2010. The meeting will provide the opportunity for further discussion, synthesis of ideas and LTER data, and the preparation of two manuscripts that follow from our 2009 ASM working group “Invertebrate impacts to ecosystem services under climate change”. The proposed meeting will be… Read more »
CANCELED-A Workshop to establish a large forest plot network across LTER and NEON sites
We propose to hold a workshop to develop a strategy to establish and fund large forest plots that take advantage of the LTER and CTFS networks and NEON observatory.
