![]() Most significant, however, hasīeen collaboration on the NSF-funded Coweeta LTER (CWT). Partnerships have included the International Biological Program, the TIEĮxperimental Ecological Reserves Program, the International Hydrologic Decade,Īnd the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Program. Multiple collaborations in national and international research programs. Hydrologic Laboratory was signed in 1968 and since then has been the basis for The original partnership between University of Georgia and the Coweeta Organic matter production and turnover, and ecosystem responses to climateĬhange. ![]() Stream ecology, including factors regulating biogeochemical cycling and exports, Inġ968, the Laboratory’s research mission was expanded to include forest and On questions in forest hydrology, for which the site was world-renowned. Research at the Laboratory was originally focused Itself was established in 1934, and much of the infrastructure was built by theĬivilian Conservation Corps. How do natural disturbances, topography, climate variability, and human activities interact with ecological processes and ecosystem states in temperate montane deciduous forests? An overarching question has guided CWT research: CWT has been dedicated to developing process understanding of ecological dynamics in montane deciduous forests of the southern Appalachians. CWT field operations are based out of the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory. These research agreements preceded NSF funding of the Coweeta LTER (CWT) in 1980 as one of six original sites in the US LTER Network. ![]() Long-term ecological research at Coweeta has been the product of a series of collaborative agreements between the University of Georgia Research Foundation in Athens, Georgia, and the USDA Forest Service Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory in Macon County, North Carolina, with many other cooperating Universities. Coweeta LTER data and publications can also be accessed through the NSF LTER website and the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory website. Other pages on this site provide alphabetical and chronological bibliographies of all publications through 2020, a set of highlighted publications, experimental basin research history through 2020, and a list of past LTER researchers. This static website briefly describes the Coweeta LTER research program (below). The USDA Forest Service Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory, however, continues to operate normally ( ). Funding for the Coweeta LTER program (1980-2020) has been terminated by NSF. ![]()
