Scientists at the Arctic LTER find that different points along a gradient of soil fertility aid ectomycorrhizal and ericaceous tundra shrubs. Their findings hint at the potential for those two types of shrubs to co-expand over the Arctic—a previously unconsidered scenario that could have vast implications for the future of the northern tundra
Welcome aboard the most recent cruise of the California Current Ecosystem LTER (CCE-LTER)!
Welcome to the Woods aims to at introduce political refugees to the natural features of their new home at the Hubbard Brook LTER.
Transit between sites is always an opportunity to see amazing wildlife. Here are my most memorable wildlife encounters at the SBC LTER.
The Central Arizona-Phoenix LTER (CAP LTER) has monitored nutrient cycles, biodiversity, and human activity in this accidental wetland since 2012, revealing this ecosystem is in some ways a happy accident–a rare occurrence in the age of climate change.
Grassland birds, by changing their nest characteristics and breeding patterns, are more resilient to drought than previously thought.
Atlantic marsh fiddler crabs facilitate the aboveground growth of a foundational saltmarsh grass, but this positive interaction becomes negative as crabs migrate north.
researchers at the Palmer Antarctic LTER show that the Adelie penguin population has suffered as a result of climate change induced krill shortages.
Biological collections are a valuable resource to long-term sites, but logistically challenging to maintain. The authors present an argument for supporting biological collections across sites.
The LTER Network Office is proud to announce a new R package: ltertools!
Join mentors from across the LTER network to discuss and find support around the challenges that inevitably arise during mentoring. Bring the challenges you are encountering; we’ll leverage our shared expertise toward creating solutions. Come to pick up effective practices from others or to share your own successful strategies. Leave with actionable ideas and a… Read more »
As ecological trends change with a changing climate, the Hubbard Brook Online Book will continue to reflect the most current understanding of the forest ecosystem whenever it is read.
