Three "Old" Sites
Each issue of the LTER Network News has featured 3 or 4 of the "old” sites. The three sites that have not been featured in previous issues are: H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest (Blue River, OR), North Inlet (Georgetown, SC), and Cedar Creek (Minneapolis, MN).
Each of the sites mentioned above has provided information about their site and the research they are currently conducting. The information is meant to provide an overview to our readers.
