The project is funded by the USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) and coordinated through New Mexico State University and the Jornada Long-Term Agroecosystems Research program (JER-LTAR). JER-LTAR is part of a national network of long-term agricultural and rangeland ecology research sites funded by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). The Jornada Experimental Range is administered by the USDA-ARS (USDA Agricultural Research Service).
