This is the AmeriFlux Management Project (AMP) created FLUXNET-1F version of the carbon flux data for the site US-xYE NEON Yellowstone Northern Range (Frog Rock) (YELL). This is the FLUXNET version of the carbon flux data for the site US-xYE NEON Yellowstone Northern Range (Frog Rock) (YELL) produced by applying the standard ONEFlux (1F) software. Site Description - Located 100 kilometers southeast of Bozeman, the YELL site is within the northern reaches of Yellowstone National Park. The terrain consists of rolling hills with small wetlands in the bottom of the depressions. The field site is a mosaic of pine-dominated forest mixed with open swaths of sage and grass. This site is also within one of the Park’s bear management areas which includes seasonal closure (early March to early June) to minimize bear-human interactions.

AmeriFlux US-xBL NEON Blandy Experimental Farm (BLAN)

This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site US-xBL NEON Blandy Experimental Farm (BLAN). Site Description - The Blandy Experimental Farm contains several land use types typically found in rural-suburban landscapes. This mix of land use types is typical and representative in the Middle Atlantic Domain. This site will be under increasing ecological pressure from urbanization within the rapidly growing megapolitan area. The amount of land cover and associated ecosystem processes in each of these land use types is expected to change over time.

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-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-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.
