Mission - Book page

THIS WEBSITE'S GOAL is to expand observations and synthesis of global soil change by promoting long-term soil-ecosystem studies (LTSEs).

THIS GLOBAL INVENTORY OF LTSEs is real-time and growing!
. to review an individual study's metadata, click on "LTSE Name" (below).
. to ask questions across-LTSEs, click on "Export Inventory" on gray menu (left), and sort LTSEs in MSExcel by criteria of interest to you (e.g. soil C, soil archive).

We seek individual scientists, managers, & students, but also institutions & the general public to help build this LTSE network.
