NEON is a continental-scale observation facility operated by Battelle and designed to collect long-term open access ecological data to better understand how U.S. ecosystems are changing. NEON collects data about plants, animals, soil, nutrients, freshwater, and the atmosphere using sensor measurements and field observations. The field-based measurements we collect provide detailed information that characterizes local, site-level change. Airborne data combined with site-level data capture contiguous site-level information and can be combined with existing satellite data to support regional to continental characterization of ecological processes.
