National LTAR Working Groups

KBS LTAR scientists are engaged in national LTAR working groups and projects aimed at coordinating research efforts across sites to develop national strategies for the sustainable intensification of agricultural production. The core working groups focus on the Common Experiment and associated research. Working groups include:

  • Agroecosystems Erosion 
  • Biology 
  • Common Experiment: Croplands 
  • Communication Strategies 
  • Data Management 
  • Drainage 
  • Eddy Covariance/Surface Flux
  • Engagement 
  • Human Dimensions
  • Indicators
  • Manureshed
  • Modeling
  • Non-Co2 Gases
  • Phenology Initiative
  • Rangeland Soil Erosion 
  • Regionalization
  • Remote Sensing/GIS
  • Resilience
  • Soils
  • Water Quality 
  • Water Quantity 
  • Weather and Climate

Many shorter-term projects arise out of these working groups to conduct network-level science activities and address emerging challenges in agricultural ecosystems.
