The Impacts of Within Season Rainfall Variability Across Ecosystems
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…
Facilitating cross-synthesis research
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…
Inland Climate Change: Social and Ecological Sensitivities and Responses
Current plans call for implementing a 5-year manipulative experiment, focused on increasing and decreasing growing season rainfall amounts, across 15 sites in the central US. The rationale for a central…
Workshop to promote synthesis products from the EcoTrends project
This working group was broken into 5 (five) sub-working groups Trends disturbance-April 8-9, 2009-Las Cruces, NM, Ariel Lugo was lead.–Final Report Trends Writing Group-NPP/biodiversity-April 13-14, 2009-Las Cruces, NM, Alan Knapp…
Landscape Vulnerability and Resilience to Climate Change and Land Use Change
The central US grasslands can serve as a test-bed that will allow us to build on a legacy of past LTER research while testing basic ecological theory that can facilitate…
State Changes and Threshold Dynamics
A four-day workshop will use LTER data, including data from the EcoTrends project, to bridge the gap between the relatively mature theoretical understanding of thresholds and state changes in ecological…
Development of a hydrochemical database – StreamchemDB
We are requesting Synthesis Working Group funds to support LTER participation in StreamchemDB. StreamchemDB is focused on aquatic chemistry data, and builds on former data synthesis projects ClimDB and HydroDB,…
Synthesis and Establishment of Guidelines Toward the Management of Next-Generation Sequence Data
Long-term ecological studies have expanded our view of microbial biology with the incorporation of long-term monitoring programs of diversity, plant and animal ecology, and decomposition processes in the context of…
Social and Ecological Responses to Climate Change and Land-use Effects on Water Availability: Contrasting Resilience Among Major River Basins of the US and Canada
The goal of this workshop is to test hypotheses (identified in a 2010 working group) about ecological and social resilience of the water cycle to climate change and land use…
