The Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) Network consists of a group of over 1800 scientists and students studying ecological processes over extended temporal and spatial scales. Twenty-eight LTER sites cover a diverse set of ecosystems. It is part of the International Long Term Ecological Research Network (ILTER).[1] The LTER Program was established in 1980 and is funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation.[2] Data from LTER sites is publicly available in the Environmental Data Initiative repository and findable through DataONE search.
