Is there a Role for Drylands in a Carbon Neutral World?

Featured /

In preparation for the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26), Niall Hanan and collaborators reviewed the current literature on dryland systems and their role in future climate management. Drylands cover around 40% of the Earth’s land surface, but that percentage is expected to grow as the bioclimatic conditions that support drylands have become more prevalent. In fact, drylands already have […]

Collaboration Beyond the Jornada LTER: New Drone Directions Make for Better Plant Projections

Featured /

Jornada scientists often collaborate with other scientists within the LTER network to create research with implications on a global scale! Below is just one recent example of how Jornada Basin LTER knowledge is making a huge impact: Although remote sensing can gauge biomass for the tall trees of forested ecosystems, the technology is still lacking

Collaboration Beyond the Jornada LTER: How Ocean Variation Creates Rodent Inflation

Featured /

Although many experiments are conducted within the physical boundaries of the Jornada Basin, the Jornada’s influence is much wider reaching! The Jornada Basin LTER program is special because it relies on its own long-term data to inspire new studies–both within the Jornada Basin and across the globe-spanning LTER network. The resulting scientist collaborations and data
