For our ‘Editor Expertise’ series, we will be meeting with each of our Senior Editors, who will share the reason they went into animal ecology, their current and future research focus, and their experience working as an editor for the Journal of Animal Ecology.

The Ecological Continuity Trust is a small UK charity that is dedicated to preserving long-term field experiments (LTE). These are experiments that have been running for 6+ years in the past, or have funding for 6+ years into the future. Long-term experiments are important because they are the only way to detect slow and cumulative change in the environment. 

We aim to preserve LTEs so data from them can be used for evidence-based policy-making, sustainable land use and education. By doing so we help future generations to have resources to manage ecosystems in the face of environmental change.

We receive core funding from the British Ecological Society.
