Data Set Usage Rights

Welcome to the H. J. Andrews LTER Database. Our intentions are to make our data as freely available as possible (See Data Availability). Our data sets consist of long-term research study data with accompanying documentation (metadata). Spatial and non-spatial data sets are available as well as software and models. We encourage the use of our data sets, but as a professional courtesy we ask that data users read and agree to the terms of our Data Use Agreement. It is considered a matter of professional ethics to acknowledge the work of other scientists that results in data used in subsequent research.
