Abstract

The Long-Term Agroecosystem Research (LTAR) network is a collaborative initiative funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, aimed at advancing sustainable, resilient agriculture through coordinated research conducted on croplands, grazing lands, and integrated crop/livestock systems. Here we provide an overview of the LTAR network, highlighting its vision, mission, initiatives, recent network activities, and future directions. Network-level research is critical for developing contextually relevant solutions to the challenges faced by agricultural producers. Long-term data collection, stakeholder engagement, and the integration of scientific knowledge are needed to enhance agricultural productivity and its resiliency, environmental quality, profitability, and social well-being into the future.

长期农业生态系统研究（LTAR）网络：支持可持续和有复原力农业的跨地点跨学科科学。

长期农业生态系统研究（LTAR）网络是由美国农业部农业研究服务局资助的一项合作计划，旨在通过对耕地、牧场以及作物/畜牧综合系统进行协调研究，推动可持续发展的弹性农业。在此，我们将概述 LTAR 网络，重点介绍其愿景、使命、倡议、近期网络活动和未来发展方向。网络层面的研究对于针对农业生产者面临的挑战制定与实际情况相关的解决方案至关重要。需要长期的数据收集、利益相关者的参与以及科学知识的整合，以提高农业生产力及其在未来的恢复能力、环境质量、盈利能力和社会福祉。

期刊介绍： Articles in JEQ cover various aspects of anthropogenic impacts on the environment, including agricultural, terrestrial, atmospheric, and aquatic systems, with emphasis on the understanding of underlying processes. To be acceptable for consideration in JEQ, a manuscript must make a significant contribution to the advancement of knowledge or toward a better understanding of existing concepts. The study should define principles of broad applicability, be related to problems over a sizable geographic area, or be of potential interest to a representative number of scientists. Emphasis is given to the understanding of underlying processes rather than to monitoring. Contributions are accepted from all disciplines for consideration by the editorial board. Manuscripts may be volunteered, invited, or coordinated as a special section or symposium.
