We spent nearly three months at Toolik Field Station studying processes in the Arctic tundra that range from individual fluorescence in leaves to tree growth north of the treeline!
by Dante Capone, PhD Student at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography and the California Current Ecosystems LTER Invasion of woody shrubs into grasslands disrupts the water cycle, with cascading effects on the ecosystem and conservation. A Prairie Transformed: The Puzzle of Vanishing Water In the tallgrass prairie of Kansas’ Konza Prairie LTER, rain filters through… Read more »
In 2024, we invested in people, in science, and in our ability to impact others. We hope we will carry this momentum into the next decade.
So why salamanders? It’s almost always the first question I get when I tell people about my research, says Eric Lyons in this SSALTER Blog post.
Strips of native prairie planted within agricultural monocrops are not an “ecological trap” for native pollinators, but also do not reduce the runoff of insecticides that may pose a threat.
Conventional Commits provide a framework for better commit messages using Git, with a set of standards that relay what kind of code changes occur at each step.
The LTER Network has a strong presence at the 2024 American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting. See all the talks and posters here!
As part of a multi-site Research Experience for Teachers (RET) program, two science teachers, Emily Chittick and Traci Kennedy, from Milwaukee Public Schools, conducted an experiment to see whether warmer water temperatures affected the ability of sea urchins to flip themselves over after being turned upside down. They wrote up this part of their summer… Read more »
Marine LTER sites come together to synthesize how consumer-mediated nutrient dynamics are changing throughout time and in response to disturbances.
Now accepting applications for the 2024 cohort of LTER Graduate Writing Fellows.
An experiment at treeline, one on the tundra, one in the Kuparuk. Each has provided researchers with valuable truths about how each Arctic system responds to change.
Our research, based at the Harvard Forest LTER site, delves into these dimensions to get a clearer picture of how trees contribute to methane emissions across space and time.
