The LTAR Network
The Long-Term Agroecosystem Research (LTAR) Network is a new network developing national strategies for the sustainable intensification of agricultural production.
LTAR is a partnership among 18 premier long-term research sites across the United States.
The LTAR network has a multifaceted focus on satisfying increasing demand for agricultural commodities, protecting the quality of the environment, and enhancing the quality of life in rural areas and the Nation as a whole

#dyk the @USDA_ARS Experimental Watersheds Network forms the core of the USLTAR Network? #WorldWaterDay
The recently established @USLTAR network, which consists of experimental watershed lab sites, will continue more than 60 years of research into global land management and conservation practices.

This feed may have taken a break but #USLTAR research has continued non-stop! A huge THANK YOU goes out to all our followers and especially to all our network members. Stay tuned, the updates are about to resume...
The virtual #ESA2020 begins August 3. The "Jornada pack" below includes 23 presentations by Jornada scientists or that involve the Jornada @USLTER and @USLTAR programs.
