Date: 2021-11-18

NEON’s Rocky Mountain National Park terrestrial field site is aptly situated to investigate atmospheric conditions that are  generated along the Front Range of the Colorado Rockies. The research area comprises over 46 square Kilometers of land managed by the National Park and Forest Services. An 82 foot tall tower collects atmospheric and chemical data at five different elevations. Automated soil sensor arrays also capture data about CO2 concentrations, soil moisture and temperature. Field observations of plants and birds, ground beetles, mosquitos, small mammals, soil microbes, and ticks are collected at plots distributed throughout the site.
