Contributions of the Long-Term Ecological Research Program

T he importance of long-term phenomena in ecology is welldocumented (Likens 1989). Transient responses that extend over decades, or even centuries, are common, such as the gradual changes associated with community succession, soil development, and populations of large vertebrates. Other ecological phenomena are infrequent (rare or episodic) events, including such disturbances as floods, hurri-
