Fostering ecological data sharing: collaborations in the International Long Term Ecological Research Network

Abstract: Abstract. The International Long Term Ecological Research (ILTER) Network was established in 1993and is now composed of thirty-eight national networks representing a diversity of ecosystems around the globe. Data generated by the ILTER Network are valuable for scientists addressing broad spatial and temporal scale research questions, but only if these data can be easily discovered, accessed, and understood. Challenges to publishing ILTER data have included unequal distribution among networks of information man… Show more

“…ILTER members have expertise in the collection, management, and analysis of long-term environmental data and, together, they are responsible for creating and maintaining a large number of unique long-term datasets (Vanderbilt et al 2015). ILTER has been a partner for many global environmental initiatives (eg PECS, Global Land Programme, DataONE) and many ILTER scientists participate in international programs.…”

“…ILTER collaboration is usually conducted through workshop series. Examples of such work include: analysis of ecosystem services (eg Shibata and Bourgeron 2011;Vihervaara et al 2013;Maass et al 2016); nitrogen cycles (eg Shibata et al 2015); and data sharing (eg Vanderbilt et al 2015Vanderbilt et al , 2017. The main weakness of the network is the lack of core funding and the voluntary basis of membership dues.…”

“…The second paper in this issue focuses on ILTER information management collaborations, where information managers have responded to ILTER Network needs through bottom‐up, self‐organized, and collectively funded trainings and workshops (Vanderbilt et al. ). This grass‐roots approach to developing tools for use in an international context may be a model for other groups in an era of dwindling resources.…”
