      abstract = {"Ecologists and managers of natural resources readily  acknowledge the importance of long-term studies and  monitoring for improved understanding and management of  complex environmental systems. Long-term data are crucially  important for providing baselines for evaluating  environmental change. They are also fundamental for  detecting and evaluating changes in ecosystem structure and  function, and for evaluating response to disturbances such  as climate change or pollution. Countless scientific  articles, books, management plans and other documents have  been written about the need to conduct long-term studies  and monitoring. However, although there have undoubtedly  been some highly successful long-term ecological studies  and monitoring programs, there is a history of poorly  planned and unfocused efforts that are either ineffective  or fail completely.},
