Shortgrass Steppe Long Term Ecological Research (SGS-LTER), author2007-01-032007-01-032005http://hdl.handle.net/10217/80702The 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.The presentation of the site review includes: introduction and background to the Shortgrass Steppe LTER Program; highlights of current research activities and accomplishments; a tour of SGS facilities and field research sites; updates on information management; an overview of educational and research activities; an overview of project management; a presentation of central focus for the next three years and plans for the future.born digitalreportsengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
