The U.S. Long Term Ecological Research (US-LTER) program consists of 26 research sites involving a wide range of ecosystem types and concentrates on the interactions of multiple ecosystem processes that play out at time scales spanning decades to centuries. Long-term data sets from programs such as US-LTER provide a context to evaluate the pace of ecological change, to interpret its effects, and to...
LTER-Europe is the umbrella network for Long-Term Ecosystem Research (LTER) and Long-Term Socio-Ecological Research (LTSER) in Europe. It forms part of the global LTER network (ILTER). Comprising 18 formal national member networks and five emerging ones LTER-Europe represents more than 400 LTER sites and 23 LTSER platforms. Besides this in-situ component LTER-Europe stands for a network of scientists,...
Analysis, control, and management of ecosystems are complex tasks which have to cover broad ranges of operating environmental states and decision making. Current approaches to ecosystems modelling and simulation are mostly based on information theory, thermodynamics, topology, or balances of biological and chemical components. Ecosystems are considered from the point of view of information theory...
Sustainable management of natural resources requires a good understanding of ecosystems components and their interrelationships. Statistics is essential for understanding the structure and behaviour of ecological processes and provides the basis of predictive modelling. Mostly, physical, chemical, and biological variables are recorded across time and space. They serve as indicators, giving information...
All Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) asks for spatially explicit information. Remote sensing-based data and related analysis products are major sources of such information. This chapter expands on general concepts of remote sensing and most important methodologies in relation to LTER. Examples from US-LTER sites exemplify opportunities related to remote sensing.
