Lugo et al. describe science history of USDA experimental sites

Lugo, Ariel E.; Swanson, Frederick J.; González, Olga Ramos; Adams, Mary Beth; Palik, Brian; Thill, Ronald E.; Brockway, Dale G.; Kern, Christel; Woodsmith, Richard; Musselman, Robert. 2006. Long-term research at the USDA Forest Service’s experimental forests and ranges. BioScience 56(1): 39-48.

The system of 78 Experimental Forests and Ranges of the USDA Forest Service overlaps with several long-standing LTER sites (Hubbard Brook, Luquillo, Coweeta, Andrews) and complements the full LTER network in the US. Lugo et al. describe the science history and links with natural resource management dating back nearly a century.
