LTER-France

LTER France website (temporarily unavailable)

A LTER site is meant to monitor and understand ecological changes and their causes. The french network is devoted to biodiversity dynamics as related to land use and climate changes. The focal question of the French network is: how do land use/landscape changes drive changes in biodiversity (species composition and distribution) and how do land use and climate interfere in buffering or enhancing each other effects?
The network provides a diversity of situations (land use history/ climate) and different aspects of biodiversity (plants animals).
Financial support to network acivities is provided by the department of Environment and sustainable development (EDD) of cnrs (http://www.cnrs.fr/edd/). Financial support for research is provided through the program « zones atelier » (www.cnrs.fr/edd/recherche/infrastructures-za.htm).
