The Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) Network is a collaborative effort involving more than 1800 scientists and students investigating ecological processes over long temporal and broad spatial scales. The Network promotes synthesis and comparative research across sites and ecosystems and among other related national and international research programs.

The site includes information about LTER, opportunities for educators, students, and post-docs, new funding, new conferences, and the variety of LTER research including collaborations/synthesis, informatics, data, technology, and microbial ecology. The site also includes links to newsletters and the latest LTER announcements.
