Santee Experimental Forest site, station Control Watershed 80 flume, study of chloride in streamwater in units of milligramsPerLiter on a yearly timescale

The EcoTrends project was established in 2004 by Dr. Debra Peters
(Jornada Basin LTER, USDA-ARS Jornada Experimental Range) and
Dr. Ariel Lugo (Luquillo LTER, USDA-FS Luquillo Experimental Forest)
to support the collection and analysis of long-term ecological datasets.
The project is a large synthesis effort focused on improving the accessibility
and use of long-term data. At present, there are ~50 state and federally funded
research sites that are participating and contributing to the EcoTrends project,
including all 26 Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) sites and sites funded by
the USDA Agriculture Research Service (ARS), USDA Forest Service,
US Department of Energy, US Geological Survey (USGS) and numerous universities. Data from the EcoTrends project are available through an exploratory web portal
(http://www.ecotrends.info). This web portal enables the continuation of data
compilation and accessibility by users through an interactive web application.
Ongoing data compilation is updated through both manual and automatic
processing as part of the LTER Provenance Aware Synthesis Tracking
Architecture (PASTA). The web portal is a collaboration between the Jornada LTER
and the LTER Network Office. The following dataset from Santee Experimental Forest (SAN)
contains chloride in streamwater measurements in milligramsPerLiter units
and were aggregated to a yearly timescale.

生态趋势（EcoTrends）项目由黛布拉·彼得斯博士（乔纳达盆地长期生态研究站，美国农业部农业研究局乔纳达实验牧场）与阿里尔·卢戈博士（卢奎洛长期生态研究站，美国农业部林务局卢奎洛实验森林）于2004年创立，旨在支持长期生态数据集的采集与分析工作。
该项目为大型综合研究计划，核心目标是提升长期生态数据的可及性与使用效率。目前已有约50个由州级及联邦政府资助的研究站点参与并为生态趋势项目贡献数据，其中涵盖全部26个长期生态研究（Long-Term Ecological Research, LTER）站点，以及由美国农业部农业研究局（Agricultural Research Service, ARS）、美国农业部林务局、美国能源部、美国地质调查局（United States Geological Survey, USGS）与众多高校资助的相关站点。
生态趋势项目的数据集可通过探索性网络门户（http://www.ecotrends.info）获取。该网络门户依托交互式网页应用，支持用户持续开展数据汇编与数据获取工作。
作为长期生态研究站溯源感知综合跟踪架构（Provenance Aware Synthesis Tracking Architecture, PASTA）的组成部分，持续进行的数据汇编工作通过人工与自动两种处理方式完成更新。
该网络门户由乔纳达长期生态研究站与长期生态研究站网络办公室联合打造。
本项来自桑蒂实验森林（Santee Experimental Forest, SAN）的数据集包含以毫克每升为单位的溪流水中氯化物含量测量数据，且已按年度时间尺度进行聚合。
