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 »

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 »

The goal of this working group is to conduct a comparative analysis of and publish a paper on the hydrologic effects of ecosystem responses to climate change and land use change at LTER sites. Climate change and land use change are expected to have large effects on ecosystem water use and water yield, but despite… Read more »

Due to the unique nature of the LTER network, robust, transparent, long–term data sets from agriculture forestry and other vital terrestrial ecosystems are available, that quantify C sequestration and GHG mitigation, resulting from management practice alteration and adaptation to climate, and land–use change. There is great potential for LTER data to be utilized for environmental,… Read more »

To provide a consistent interactive mapping interface for LTER site information through an Internet web mapping application and allow users to visualize, search, download, and explore site information along with spatial and tabular data at both the network and site levels.

We propose to hold a workshop to explore challenges, opportunities, and potential outcomes of engaging the humanities and arts in consideration of future scenarios of landscape change in the face of climate change, land use, and human population growth.
