Studying post-fire Snowpack at the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest
As wildfires continue to reshape forested landscapes across the western United States, understanding their impact on snowpack and hydrologic systems is increasingly important.
Summer Network-wide Postcard Exchange
Who doesn’t like getting postcards? Sign up to exchange postcards with someone at another LTER this summer! You’ll receive a postcard from a fellow scientist at another LTER, and send one of your own. This exchange is open to all and the form will remain open until June 6th.
What would my project be?
A Minnesota teacher learns about ecological phenomena in the Arctic and connects them to her students — igniting passion and curiosity.
ILTER Webinar: Resolving and scaling litter decomposition controls from leaf to landscape
This webinar will introduce the NSF-funded Decomposition Across Dtylands (DeAD)project, which combines field experiments, long-term observations, remote sensing and hierarchical modeling to better understand dryland decomposition across scales.
Lessons from Long-Term Data: An ARETs Experience at the H.J. Andrews LTER
now design lessons where students analyze real datasets, compare short-term and long-term trends, and consider how disruptions—such as wildfire or limited field access—can influence scientific conclusions.
Invisible Impacts Symposium
The Invisible Impacts Symposium is a two-day virtual symposium exploring how social and ecological perspectives can come together to better understand long-term environmental change. Ecology has a rich tradition of long-term observation – decades of data on forests, watersheds, atmospheric chemistry, and biodiversity. At the same time, the social sciences and humanities offer powerful frameworks for… Read more »
Clotheslines, Hair Ties, and Tape Measures: Low Tech Tools for the Win
“Science and data collection doesn’t always have to have flashy gizmos and light speed computers… Methodology, consistency, simple tools and flexible minds are gold in the field. Get out there!”
Voices of the Forest: Frog Bio-acoustics in the LUQ-LTER
Sometimes, the best way to understand an ecosystem is simply to stop and listen.
