AmeriFlux FLUXNET-1F US-xMB NEON Moab (MOAB)

This is the AmeriFlux Management Project (AMP) created FLUXNET-1F version of the carbon flux data for the site US-xMB NEON Moab (MOAB). This is the FLUXNET version of the carbon flux data for the site US-xMB NEON Moab (MOAB) produced by applying the standard ONEFlux (1F) software. 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 FLUXNET-1F US-xNQ NEON Onaqui-Ault (ONAQ)

This is the AmeriFlux Management Project (AMP) created FLUXNET-1F version of the carbon flux data for the site US-xNQ NEON Onaqui-Ault (ONAQ). This is the FLUXNET version of the carbon flux data for the site US-xNQ NEON Onaqui-Ault (ONAQ) produced by applying the standard ONEFlux (1F) software. Site Description - The Onaqui-Ault site is located south of the rapidly developing Salt Lake City area, also near Provo and Logan, anchoring this arid urban-rural megatransect. The Onaqui-Benmore area has been grazed by domestic livestock since settlement. By the 1980's, the U.S. Forest Service instituted a light to moderate fall and winter grazing regime that continues today.Fire has always been a component of sagebrush steppe, one of the dominant vegetation types in the area. However, the invasions of exotic annual vegetation, especially Bromus tectorum, also known as drooping brome or cheatgrass, have dramatically shortened fire return intervals. The invasion-fire feedback has resulted in the loss of native perennial species from extensive areas of the region.

AmeriFlux FLUXNET-1F US-xRM NEON Rocky Mountain National Park, CASTNET (RMNP)

This is the AmeriFlux Management Project (AMP) created FLUXNET-1F version of the carbon flux data for the site US-xRM NEON Rocky Mountain National Park, CASTNET (RMNP). This is the FLUXNET version of the carbon flux data for the site US-xRM NEON Rocky Mountain National Park, CASTNET (RMNP) produced by applying the standard ONEFlux (1F) software. Site Description - NEON's Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) tower stands 12 km south of Estes Park, Colorado, representing a growing mosaic of urban and exurban areas. While the property is owned by RMNP, it is not contiguous with the core park boundaries. As a mid-elevation site (2,750 m) on the east side of the Continental Divide, the site is aptly situated to investigate the chemical climate (i.e., pollution) generated along the Front Range as well as dust deposition produced and transported from the Great Basin to higher elevations. This is a particularly salient issue given recent estimates which project that an additional two million residents will inhabit the Front Range in twenty years.

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 FLUXNET-1F US-xUN NEON University of Notre Dame Environmental Research Center (UNDE)

This is the AmeriFlux Management Project (AMP) created FLUXNET-1F version of the carbon flux data for the site US-xUN NEON University of Notre Dame Environmental Research Center (UNDE). This is the FLUXNET version of the carbon flux data for the site US-xUN NEON University of Notre Dame Environmental Research Center (UNDE) produced by applying the standard ONEFlux (1F) software. Site Description - NEON's Domain 5 core site is located at the University of Notre Dame Environmental Research Center (UNDERC) East. Straddling the border between Northern Wisconsin and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, the UNDERC property comprises approximately 7500 acres and is maintained as an environmental education and research facility. UNDERC also has 30 lakes comprising 1350 acres, including Crampton Lake, a NEON aquatics site. Region-wide logging for pine in the late 1800s and early to mid-1900's led to clear cutting of most forested areas on the property. The main parcel was donated to the University in the 1930s. Timber harvest continued into the 1950s and later, leaving a mixture of successional forest regrowth. Since the 1970s, the site has been minimally managed to maintain access for recreational, educational and research goals.
