Importance and Justification of Long-Term Studies in Ecologyhere is increasing recognition that, because most important questions in ecology ultimately deal with predicting ecosystem responses, testing the correctness of ecological concepts and predictions by observing the future is essential. There are many sophisticated predictive models and general constr

Are Currently Available Statistical Methods Adequate for Long-Term Studies?g temporal scales often have the least potential for causal inference, while the textbook-style procedures of great inferential power may not yield insights applicable to many scales of interest. Furthermore, methods do exist for the design and analysis of studies across the continuum of potential s
