NEON will install stemflow and throughfall collectors at 11 sites prior to rain events, and measure and collect water samples following the rain events.
In conjunction with NEON Small Mammal Sampling, iButtons are deployed at one pathogen grid at each selected site over three field seasons and are associated with captures during mammal processing. Tissue samples are collected from Peromyscus sp. captured on the same grid in support of this project.
This RAPID project deployed a NEON MDP coupled with high-performance computing resources from the NSF-funded SAGE project to enable responsive and real-time, fire monitoring, development of early smoke detection algorithms, and data-driven soil sample collection immediately following fire activity.
NEON provides support with installation, maintenance, and annual sampling of three passive MWAC dust collectors at each of the 20 NEON terrestrial core sites.
NEON is providing access to AC utility power to the nearby AmeriFlux tower at the Bartlett Experimental Forest. The utility power is supplying backup power for the solar-powered AmeriFlux tower via an AC outlet at the NEON instrument hut.
Installation of two VHF radio telemetry receiving antenna arrays, associated coaxial cables, and automatic recording unit to monitor native Hawaiian birds outfitted with radio transmitters. NEON also provides as-needed maintenance, and network access for automated data uploads and retrieval.
