• - The UK's integrated long-term environmental monitoring network. Information on the network, summary data, environmental indicators, education, and publications.
  
• - The Konza Prairie Research Natural Area (KPRNA), an LTER site, is representative of native tallgrass prairie in the Flint Hills of eastern Kansas. Website has information about the prairie and ongoing research there.
  
• - 2200-hectare experimental ecological reserve operated by the University of Minnesota. Suitable for study of the deciduous forest, the boreal forest, and the prairie biomes.
  
• - Canada's national network of monitoring and research sites characterized by long term, multi-disciplinary studies.
  
• - Investigating how variability in regional climate and freshwater inputs, disturbance, and perturbations affect the coastal Everglades ecosystem (USA).
  
• - Ecological research site in the mountains of North Carolina. Research to evaluate, explain, and predict how water, soil, and forest resources respond to management practices, natural disturbances, and the atmospheric environment.
  
• - An LTER site working to improve the understanding of forest ecosystem processes through the long-term study of selected forest plots in Switzerland. A particular emphasis is the possible effects of air pollution and climate change on forest ecosystem proc
