National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON)

The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) is a large-scale research initiative in the United States designed to monitor and study ecological data across various environments. It collects information on climate, plants, animals, and soils at over 80 sites nationwide. This data helps scientists understand ecological changes, track the impact of climate change, and inform conservation efforts. By providing accessible data to researchers and the public, NEON aims to improve our understanding of ecosystems and support better decision-making for environmental management and policy.
