AmeriFlux US-xDS NEON Disney Wilderness Preserve (DSNY)

This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site US-xDS NEON Disney Wilderness Preserve (DSNY). Site Description - The 12,000-acre Disney Wilderness Preserve straddles the headwaters of the Everglades ecosystem in south-central Florida. This site is seasonally wet and flooded. The Disney site was heavily logged and used as ranchland for decades. However, vegetation and site conditions have been restored to closely represent site condition records, documented by the area’s first Spanish missionaries. The large-scale wetland and upland restoration at Disney included the removal of non-native, invasive plants and grasses and the removal of agricultural ditches. The primary management activity is controlled burns.

AmeriFlux US-xML NEON Mountain Lake Biological Station (MLBS)

This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site US-xML NEON Mountain Lake Biological Station (MLBS). Site Description - Mountain Lake Biological Station (MLBS) is a remote, but accessible research station and is a unit of the College of Arts & Sciences at University of Virginia. It sits at 1160 meters on the top of Salt Pond Mountain in the southern Appalachian mountains in southwestern Virginia. It consists of 259 hectares of forested reserve.

AmeriFlux US-xSB NEON Ordway-Swisher Biological Station (OSBS)

This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site US-xSB NEON Ordway-Swisher Biological Station (OSBS). Site Description - The Ordway-Swisher Biological Station (OSBS) is operated by the University of Florida and comprises over 9,300 acres. It is a year-round field station established for the long-term study and conservation of unique ecosystems through management, research and education. The Station is located approximately 20 miles east of Gainesville in Melrose (Putnam County, Florida). There are two aquatic arrays at Ordway-Swisher, representing the two dominant aquatic features on the landscape: 1) Suggs lake, a shallow surface water lake that is rich in taxa and biologically active in structure and function; and 2) Barco lake, a deep lake connected to ground water. The forest is maintained by fire and has a relatively open structure: it is managed with prescribed burns at a frequency of 3-4 years.

AmeriFlux US-xSJ NEON San Joaquin Experimental Range (SJER)

This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site US-xSJ NEON San Joaquin Experimental Range (SJER). Site Description - Located at The San Joaquin Experimental Range, in the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada, this 18.2 kilometer terrestrial field site is a mix of open woodlands, shrubs and grasslands with low density cattle grazing. SJER is an ecosystem research experimental area. It was originally conceived as a cooperative interdisciplinary research center to identify cost-effect methods of commercial livestock production in the annual grass-oak pine woodlands, while maintaining the integrity of the ecosystem. More recently, research objectives have expanded and diversified to include research projects making contributions to our knowledge of the patterns and processes working in this ecosystem.

AmeriFlux PR-xGU NEON Guanica Forest (GUAN)

This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site PR-xGU NEON Guanica Forest (GUAN). Site Description - The Guanica Forest (GUAN) site is located on the southwest corner of the main island of Puerto Rico in a protected forest with primary phenological species of Gymnanthes lucida, Pisonia albida, and Bursera simaruba. The mean canopy height is approximately 10 m.

AmeriFlux US-xLE NEON Lenoir Landing (LENO)

This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site US-xLE NEON Lenoir Landing (LENO). Site Description - This terrestrial field site is located in a hardwood bottomland with seasonal flooding each spring located in southwest Alabama. The meteorological/flux tower and tower sampling plots are located at Lenoir Landing and the distributed plots are located approximately 5 km south of the tower at Choctaw National Wildlife Refuge. The ecosystem at LENO is dominated by closed-canopy pine-oak mixed forest with a developed understory, and also includes a small fraction of meadows, wetlands, and smaller water bodies. Dominant plant species include American sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), American hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana), and loblolly pine (Pinus taeda). Choctaw National Wildlife Refuge also provides a protected wintering area for waterfowl and wood duck brood habitat. This site is colocated with the Lower Tombigbee river aquatic site.

No Neon, but Jets in the Remarkable Recurrent Nova M31N 2008-12a?—Hubble Space Telescope Spectroscopy of the 2015 Eruption

The 2008 discovery of an eruption of M31N 2008-12a began a journey on which the true nature of this remarkable recurrent nova continues to be revealed. M31N 2008-12a contains a white dwarf (WD) close to the Chandrasekhar limit, accreting at a high rate from its companion, and undergoes thermonuclear eruptions that are observed yearly and may even be twice as frequent. In this paper, we report on Hubble Space Telescope Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph ultraviolet spectroscopy taken within days of the predicted 2015 eruption, coupled with Keck spectroscopy of the 2013 eruption. Together, this spectroscopy permits the reddening to be constrained to E(B−V)=0.10±0.03. The UV spectroscopy reveals evidence for highly ionized, structured, and high-velocity ejecta at early times. No evidence for neon is seen in these spectra, however, but it may be that little insight can be gained regarding the composition of the WD (CO versus ONe).
