This worksheet indicates what year NEON started collecting data for each data product at each field site. Data products that will never be collected at a specific site are also noted as "NA". For example, aquatic sensor data are never collected at terrestrial field sites.
This shapefile contains the polygon boundary (extent) of NEON terrestrial and co-located aquatic field sites (it does not contain boundaries for non co-located aquatic field sites). It can be opened in a GIS program like QGIS, ArcGIS or a programming language like R or Python using GDAL libraries. Coordinate Reference system: Geographic WGS 84. Last updated December 2018.
Are you a beginner R user? This super, simple R script is perfect for data users who want to stack NEON data but are not that familiar with working in R. Using only three lines of code, you will be able to combine multiple months & sites of NEON data downloaded as a .zip file from the NEON data portal. Please note that this script will only work for NEON data products that are delivered as zipped folders of .csv files (most OS and IS data products but not AOP or bundled eddy covariance data products).
This report is a synthesis of feedback from a number of sources, with an emphasis on the recent 2018 community stakeholder survey, to better understand awareness, knowledge, and perceptions of the NEON project as well as interest in using NEON’s data and infrastructure. Findings from this report will be used by NEON leadership to shape a strategic engagement plan to accelerate and maximize use of the observatory as a community-owned resource for the ecological research community and beyond.
