title = "Long term agroecosystem research experimental watershed network",
abstract = "The vision of the Long Term Agroecosystem Research (LTAR) network is to enable multi-decadal, trans-disciplinary, and cross-location science to ensure the long-term sustainability of U.S. agriculture. LTAR's primary goals are to: (1) Intensify agricultural productivity, (2) Improve ecosystem services related to agricultural production, and (3) Improve rural prosperity. The LTAR network includes 18 locations (sites). It includes 10 existing hydrologic observatories from the Agricultural Research Service-Experimental Watershed Network (ARS-EWN) that were established before the creation of LTAR. Background and an overview of the network are presented.",

note = "Funding Information: The ARS-EWN (Agricultural Research Service-Experimental Watershed Network) that forms a long-term foundation for the LTAR network would not have been possible without the many early Soil Conservation Service (SCS) and ARS scientists and administrators who embraced a long-term vision and commitment in constructing and operating the USDA-ARS Experimental Watersheds and Ranges. We also commend and gratefully acknowledge the dedication of ARS staff in maintaining these long-term hydrologic and ecologic observatories and their diligent collection of high-quality data over many decades. The LTAR network originated with the vision of Phil Robertson and colleagues and was brought into reality by Steve Shater and Mark Walbridge. This research was a contribution from the Long-Term Agroecosystem Research (LTAR) network. Publisher Copyright: Published 2022.
