European Long-Term Ecosystem Research Network
Welcome to LTER-Europe
|
Long-Term Ecosystem Research (LTER) is an essential component of world wide efforts to better understand ecosystems. This comprises their structure, functions, and response to environmental, societal and economic drivers as well as the development of management options. For the first two decades of its existence LTER built on natural sciences. The ongoing re-design of LTER aims at expanding its scope to the human dimension. Strongly coupled and integrated socio-ecological systems are driven by economic, cultural and environmental forces likewise. Their investigation requires a new generation of socio-economic and ecological research (LTSER) with adequate infrastructure. |
