Michael D. SanClements, National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON)
The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) is a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded continental-scale ecological observation platform for understanding and forecasting the impacts of climate change, land use change, and invasive species on ecological systems. NEON is designed to conduct measurements and observations of ecosystem drivers and their responses, using standardized methods across the continent. Data generated by NEON are provided on a free and open access basis, as a service to scientists, students, educators, planners, and policymakers. NEON will collect data over a 30 year timespan at 106 sites distributed among the diverse ecological domains of the United States. NEON’s 106 sites include terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and data products collected at these sites include organismal sampling, automated measurements of atmospheric and biogeochemical states, and airborne remote sensing. This broad range of data products will facilitate novel interdisciplinary research approaches as well as traditional ecological research. This organized poster session brings together contributions from NEON scientists and external users of NEON data and infrastructure.
