<p class="MsoNormal">Dear LTER investigators, <br>
A group of researchers -- led by Evelyn Gaiser, John Kominoski and Diane McKnight -- is hard at work on a paper examining the ecological implications of what we're calling the "anthropause," the broad-scale reduction and relocation of human activities during
the pandemic.<br>
<br>
The angle we are pursuing emphasizes the importance of long term ecological networks in understanding how such a disturbance might reorganize human-ecological systems to make them more (or less) resilient. We are combining case studies with remote sensing and
referencing available datasets from LTERs and other networks and sources to describe hypotheses about how we expect things might change and identify how they could be tested in the future.<br>
<br>
We expect to complete the manuscript within the month and are putting out a last call for any additional LTER data that might be relevant to the focus areas of <o:p></o:p></p>
