The Impacts of Within Season Rainfall Variability Across Ecosystems

Posted in Working Groups

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 of ecosystems in the LTER.

Facilitating cross-synthesis research

Posted in Working Groups

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 PASTA framework, where the information moves from heterogeneous, diverse forms to a unified, usable framework, with the advantage of the lower cost associated with this… Read more »

Collaborative Research on Desertification between the Jornada Basin and Mongolian LTER

Posted in Working Groups

The Jornada Basin and Mongolian LTER program both focus on desertification processes. Due to past contacts and an informal meeting with Dr. Chadraa (President of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences) at the LTER ASM, Jornada Basin scientists were invited by representatives of the Mongolian and Swiss governments to meet in Ulan Baatar with scientists and… Read more »

Trends in Long Term Ecological Data Working Group

Posted in Working Groups

Long term data are invaluable in both understanding the properties and dynamics of ecological systems as well as in forecasting future system dynamics. Trends in long term data are critical to the ability to: (1) distinguish temporal variability from directional changes, (2) relate changes in response variables to changes in drivers or other response variables,… Read more »
