Ecosystems change on a multitude of spatial and temporal scales. While analyses of ecosystem dynamics in short timespans have received much attention, the impacts of changes in the long term have, to a great extent, been neglected, provoking a lack of information and methodological know-how in this area. This book fills this gap by focusing on studies dealing with the investigation of complelong-term ecological processes with regard to global change, the development of early warning systems, and the acquisition of a scientific basis for strategic conservation management and the sustainable use of ecosystems. Within this book, theoretical ecological questions of long-term processes, as well as an international dimension of long-term monitoring, observations and research are brought together. The outcome is an overview on different aspects of long-term ecological research. Aquatic, as well as terrestrial ecosystems are represented. udies provide a snap-shot of the range of methods and practices in use in long-term ecosystem research today The international dimension of long-term monitoring, observations and research are brought together Promotes a better application of scientific methodology in environmental practice Demonstrates the high significance of long-term oriented research questions Discusses future demands and challenges Fosters better international cooperation in dealing with long-term ecological processes
