dc.description.abstractThis document collates and describes the objectives of the LTERN Facility, the questions being examined and the field methodologies employed. It includes field data collection protocols (and associated templates) employed by the researchers, and reflections from lead researchers on what they would do differently if they were designing their monitoring networks today. The publication of this manual is a key step towards LTERN providing an archived and sustainable set of long-term data collection procedures. We also hope that other environmental professionals find the detail useful in the design and deployment of future ecological monitoring initiatives. The LTERN Data Portal—released in October 2013—documents individual site protocols associated with published LTERN data packages (see www.ltern.org.au). The release of data packages from LTERN through the Data Portal will be progressive. In time, the LTERN Data Portal will become the most current and informative source for LTERN data collection procedures.en_AU

local.description.notesThe LTERN Facility was funded under the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network Education Investment Fund Strategic Plan 2010 - 2013. A key part of that plan was the establishment of infrastructure for ecosystem science. Here, in this document, infrastructure refers to the layout and design of permanent field plots, the associated field measurement protocols and the survey staff that implement them, and the TERN-funded data that are collected from these plots. Correspondingly, knowledge infrastructure refers to knowledge and understanding that is obtained, and ideas that have been generated from the networks of plots that constitute the LTERN Facility. Throughout this document, when we refer to a research or monitoring study, or research or monitoring sites, we are referring to research or monitoring infrastructure. This manual and the LTERN Data Portal (www.ltern.org.au) are important contributions to TERN's goal to: … build the relationships, networks and infrastructure that will enable sustained, long-term collection, storage, synthesis and sharing of ecosystem data to meet terrestrial ecosystem science and ecosystem management needs in Australia.
