Shortgrass Steppe Long Term Ecological Research (SGS-LTER), author2007-01-032007-01-032002http://hdl.handle.net/10217/80440The SGS-LTER research site was established in 1980 by researchers at Colorado State University as part of a network of long-term research sites within the US LTER Network, supported by the National Science Foundation. Scientists within the Natural Resource Ecology Lab, Department of Forest and Rangeland Stewardship, Department of Soil and Crop Sciences, and Biology Department at CSU, California State Fullerton, USDA Agricultural Research Service, University of Northern Colorado, and the University of Wyoming, among others, have contributed to our understanding of the structure and functions of the shortgrass steppe and other diverse ecosystems across the network while maintaining a common mission and sharing expertise, data and infrastructure.Features some highlights of results, prioritizing new areas of research this last round of funding. The report is organized using a modified version of LTER core areas. Although results are presented by core areas, activities are strongly linked across these areas.born digitalgrant proposalsengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
