Sevilleta Long-Term Ecological Research Program in the central Rio Grande Basin is one of the U.S. National Science Foundation LTER Network sites. Studies at the Sevilleta examine the responses of ecosystems to environmental changes. The Sevilleta LTER Program is located at the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge in Socorro County, NM, but researchers also utilize areas in Cibola National Forest, Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, El Malpais National Monument, and Bandelier National Monument. These varied study sites include a wide range of ecosystem types, including Chihuahuan Desert, Great Plains Grassland, Great Basin Shrub-Steppe, Piñon-Juniper Woodland, Bosque Riparian Forests and Wetlands, Ponderosa Pine Forests, Mixed-Conifer Montane Forests, and Sub-alpine Forests and Meadows.
