PS 1 - NEON (National Ecological Observatory Network)
The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) focuses on grand challenge questions in environmental science relevant to large regions that cannot be addressed with traditional ecological approaches. These challenges involve: (1) understanding and predicting the way ecosystems work and respond to changes, especially at large scales; (2) understanding how ecosystem processes feed back to alter Earth System processes, including climate and hydrology; and (3) understanding the implications of these processes and feedbacks for the human endeavor. NEON will be an NSF-sponsored research facility for the study of long-term, large-scale ecological change. The goal of NEON is to enable understanding and forecasting of the impacts of climate change, land use change and invasive species on continental-scale ecology by providing infrastructure to support research in these areas.
