Microbial Processes > Long-Term Soil Productivity (LTSP) Study > Forest Locations > Affiliate Sites

Many sites with treatments similar to LTSP can complement the aims of the main study. Researchers investigating questions in common with LTSP have been welcomed into an expanded research family. Affiliate field experiments are earmarked by sound experimental design, certain treatments in common with LTSP, and by their investigators' willingness to follow certain measurement protocols and share data and findings. Benefits include expanding the network of field sites and researchers, and establishing links between experimental and operational treatments. Affiliate members in the United States and Canada include Federal, provincial, university and private sector scientists. They participate actively at annual LTSP Technical Committee meetings.
