The Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) program has transformed itself from a loosely-affiliated collection of sites to an integrated network. Recent accomplishments include: equipment and software standardization; creation of an effective electronic networking system; standardization in data collection and management; collaboration in ecological research including multi- site experiments, and comparative analyses and syntheses addressing major ecological issues; development of the infrastructure for support of intersite activities; major efforts to identify appropriate technologies and to train LTER scientists in their application; and creation of long-term plans identifying network goals and action programs. Collectively the LTER Network has expanded its focus to include larger spatial dimensions (regional and global) in its long term research and assumed a leadership role in ecological research related to global change. The networked activity of LTER has allowed scientific collaboration that has spread far beyond the formal LTER Network. This interest in collaboration with and by the larger ecological community, and other research organizations and agencies, has led to increased requests for the Network Office to provide research coordination and communications not only within LTER, but to the larger ecological community. The LTER electronic mail forwarding system developed at the Network Office, has been particularly effective in providing a simple means of rapid communication and data exchange for ecologists. This project will support the activities which facilitate collaborative research in the LTER Network. Most of the resources will be used to support the infrastructure of the organized, electronically-linked group of ecological scientists working on multi-site research and synthesis within and beyond the formal LTER program. Proposed activities include: (1) Development of on-line, long-term data bases, and operation and expansion of electronic networking; (2) Acquisition, archiving, and analytic use of an array of remote sensing imagery for the LTER sites; (3) Maintenance of the facilitating infrastructure and publication program associated with the Coordinating Committee and Network Office; and (4) Increased involvement with other long-term research programs both domestically (e.g., sponsored by agencies such as DOE, USDA, and USGS) and internationally. Research and development efforts by the Network staff will occur in areas of database management, remote sensing, and geographic information systems.

长期生态研究（LTER）计划已经改变了 从一个松散的网站集合到一个 综合网络。 最近的成就包括：设备 和软件标准化;建立有效的电子 联网系统;数据收集标准化， 管理;生态研究合作， 现场试验、对比分析和综合 处理重大生态问题; 支持站点间活动的基础设施;主要努力 确定适当的技术和培训LTER科学家 以及制定长期计划 确定网络目标和行动方案。 统称 LTER网络已扩大其重点，包括更大的空间 长期研究的各个方面（区域和全球）， 在生态研究方面发挥领导作用， 全球变化 LTER的网络化活动使科学 这种合作已经远远超出了正式的LTER网络。 这种与更大的生态系统合作的兴趣， 社区，以及其他研究组织和机构， 对网络办公室提供研究的要求增加 不仅在LTER内部进行协调和沟通， 更大的生态社区。 LTER电子邮件转发 在网络办公室开发的系统，特别是 有效地提供了一种简单的快速通信手段， 生态学家的数据交换。 该项目将支持促进下列活动的活动： LTER网络中的合作研究。 大部分 资源将用于支持 一个有组织的，通过电子连接的生态科学家小组 致力于内外多地点研究和综合 正式的LTER计划。 拟议的活动包括：（1） 开发在线长期数据库， 电子网络的扩展;（2）采集、存档， 遥感图像阵列的分析使用， （3）维护便利基础设施 与协调有关的出版计划 委员会和网络办公室;（4）增加参与 国内的其他长期研究计划（例如， 由美国能源部、美国农业部和美国地质勘探局等机构赞助）， 化国际大 网络的研究和开发工作 将在数据库管理、遥感 和地理信息系统。
