Long-term Experiments in the LTER Network: Synthesis and Hypothesis Testing
We are requesting funds to assemble a working group of LTER scientists with extensive experience in conducting long-term experiments in the LTER Network, the skills and interest in synthetically interpreting…
Forecasting Rates of Riverine Leaf Litter Decomposition in Response to Inland Climate Change
Recent work has suggested that freshwater ecosystems may play a significant role in the global carbon cycle, potentially emitting 1.2 Pg C y-1 to the atmosphere [1, 2]. The majority…
A Data Synthesis Working Group: Disappearing Snow in the Western US: Ecosystem Implications for the Rain-Snow Transition Zone
Introduction and Goals: In the Western US mountain regions, winter temperature increases will lead to the reduction and even loss of winter snowpacks. A shift from snow to rain-dominated systems…
Understanding Interactions within the LTER Network for Improved Collaboration
This proposed effort will “stimulate cross-site and Network-level synthesis” by addressing issues of collaboration within the LTER network. Scientific synthesis should be promoted as we better understand the nature of…
The Influence of Precipitation Variability on Diversity and Composition of North American Grasslands
Overview: We propose to organize a working group that will analyze and synthesize long-term data on the relationship between precipitation variability and the structure of North American (NA) grassland plant…
Cross-Site Synthesis between CCE, MCR and SBC: Working group to develop comparative regional ocean modeling effort
We propose a new synthesis effort between the California Current Ecosystem (CCE) LTER, the Mo’orea Coral Reef (MCR) LTER and the Santa Barbara Channel (SBC) LTER to incorporate regional modeling…
Developing Protocols for Cross-Site Research on Local Ecological Knowledge and Social-Ecological Systems
The Maps and Local (MALS) project is a collaborative effort to develop common methods for research on social-ecological systems at the LTER network scale. (http://www.lter.uaf.edu/bnz_MALS.cfm) Eleven sites have been funded…
Drupal Environmental Information Management System workshop: Data applications
Our multi-institutional, multi-site group mission is to enable data integration and information synthesis from the foundations of the ecological community, at the minimal organizational level (site, field station), with scalability…
