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-xMB NEON Moab (MOAB)

This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site US-xMB NEON Moab (MOAB). Site Description - The NEON MOAB site is located approximately 40 km south of the town of Moab and is characteristic of the Colorado Plateau. MOAB was selected with other sites that share a similar latitude in domains 10, 13, and 15, to assess dust generation, nutrient transport, and nutrient deposition. The western half of the site, including the tower airshed, is a grazed shrub land, often with pockets of barren soil. To the east, in the higher elevations, evergreen forests sit atop the mesas. Biological soil crust, dominated by cyanobacteria, is a living groundcover across the area.

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-xNW NEON Niwot Ridge Mountain Research Station (NIWO)

This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site US-xNW NEON Niwot Ridge Mountain Research Station (NIWO). Site Description - The Niwot Ridge sits approximately 27 km west of Boulder, Colorado, and 6 km east of the Continental Divide. Topography, climate, and biota of the site are representative of Rocky Mountain alpine ecosystems, including extensive alpine tundra (mostly herbs, some shrubs and scree) and subalpine coniferous forests (Abies lasciocarpa and Picea engelmanii at higher elevations), talus slopes, wetlands and a variety of glacial landforms. Characterized by cold and relatively long winters, Niwot Ridge has an average annual temperature of 1.5°C and average annual precipitation of 800 mm. Most precipitation falls as snow and summer precipitation falls primarily during afternoon thunderstorms. Located on the eastern side of the Continental Divide at 3,000-3,500 m elevation, the site best captures chemical inputs produced along the Front Range and is well situated to observe other east/west flows across the Southern Rockies in conjunction with other NEON sites.

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 US-xTA NEON Talladega National Forest (TALL)

This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site US-xTA NEON Talladega National Forest (TALL). Site Description - The TALL terrestrial field site covers 5300 hectares within the larger Oakmulgee District of the Talladega National Forest (475,000 hectares) in west-central Alabama. TALL is located within the Gulf Coastal Plain which is the dominant physiographic province (52%) of NEON's Domain 8: Ozarks Complex. It is also where the upper coastal plain gives rise to the Appalachian foothills. The lands of this region are rich a mosaic of forest types and habitats. Steep ridges to rolling hills fading to hardwood bottoms make up the diversity of forest conditions found in Oakmulgee. While known for its longleaf forests, over 40% of Oakmulgee is covered with a mixture of hardwoods and wetlands.
