Long‐Term Ecological Research and Network‐Level Science

Abstract

With every passing year, the effects of global environmental change are becoming more pervasive and are occurring at a more accelerated pace. Climate change, land use change, atmospheric nitrogen deposition, ocean acidification and sea level rise, loss of biodiversity, and homogenization of Earth's ecosystems are all manifestations of human activities. These short‐ and long‐term effects of environmental changes continue to mount.
