In 2006 scientists working in the Jornada basin published a book that synthesized much of the research conducted in this basin during the 20th century. This synthesis volume was published as a contribution to the Long-Term Ecological Research Network series through Oxford University Press. Individual PDF copies of each chapter of this book are provided below. The published volume is still in print and available through normal outlets.
