An article in the September 1990 issue of Conservation Biology by Keith Bildstein (North Inlet Marsh) and I. Lehr Brisbin, Jr. highlights the LTER Network. “Lands for Long-Term Research in Conservation Biology” describes LTER in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Environmental Research Parks (NERPs) as appropriate places to develop long-term studies on a large scale. They recommend that conservation biologists explore the possibility of using LTER, NERP and other similarly available sites in their research programs, and include a directory of sites and contacts.
