Our goal for the VCR LTER program is to develop a predictive understanding of the response of coastal barrier systems to long-term environmental changes in climate, sea level and land use, and to relate these to the ecological services the coastal barrier systems provide.</p> <p><a href="http://asm2009.lternet.edu/2009/posters/virginia-coast-reserve-long-term-ecological-research-project" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Coastal Systems Disturbance Ecology Estuarine Ecology Geology Hydrology Landscape Ecology Nutrient Fluxes Plant Ecology Wetlands Ecology Site Science VCR Mon, 31 Aug 2009 17:27:27 +0000 John Porter 472 at http://asm2009.lternet.edu
