Collaborating Projects

The ARC LTER has a long history of attracting complementary collaborating projects to Toolik.  These projects greatly extend the intellectual significance and applications of LTER research; they contribute additional context and greatly enhance the value of LTER data and knowledge.  Long term experiments and data are often used to extended and enhance the research that is done. Many of these projects use the ARC LTER database as a repository for their data.
