Climate Studies
Climate is a basic component of LTER sites and is specifically
considered in many of the principal hypotheses investigated
at individual sites. Climate is not only a disturbance factor
common to all sites, but is also a major driving control of
the whole ecosystem of the sites. Important past and ongoing
climate-related projects conducted at LTER sites include measurements
of micro- or mesoscale variables and fluxes, hydrological measurements
and modeling, and some atmospheric deposition measurements,
as well as unique studies of carbon dioxide flux eddy-correlation
(Harvard Forest), coherence among lake climate and chemistry
(North Temperate Lakes), and lightning strikes (Sevilleta).
