Since its establishment by the National Science Foundation in 1980, the Long Term Ecological Research Network has been a major force in the field of ecology. LTER researchers have addressed fundamental questions about how ecosystems work, established seminal ecosystem experiments; maintained long term observations of ecosystem variables; and significantly advanced ecological theory and predictive models. The sustained involvement of large teams of active scientists has also delivered substantial and ongoing engagement with resource managers, policymakers, educators, and public audiences — making the LTER a key resource for evidence-based environmental policy and knowledge at all levels. The following site briefs accompanied the 2019 self-assessment of the network, on the occasion of its 40th anniversary. the full report is available at: https://lternet.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/LTER_Self_Study_2019-10-04.pdf
