2018 LTER All Scientists' Meeting

This is part 2 of  a 2-part, 180-minute workshop.  As at 2012 and 2015 ASMs, participating sites will present their current understanding of how climate is changing and how the ecosystem has responded at that site. We will examine forcing (i.e., temperature, precipitation); geophysical responses (e.g., ice, snow, permafrost, streamflow, sea or lake level, upwelling, drought); and responses in LTER core areas (organic matter, inorganic cycling, trophic relationships, primary productivity, disturbances). Reports in 2015 from 25 sites indicated widespread changes in phase and timing of water; hypoxia, acidification, salinity; changes in C and N; pests and diseases, mortality, migration, loss of habitat connectivity; and altered disturbance (wildfire, cyclones).
