Abstract Phenology is an integrative science that comprises the study of recurring biological activities or events. In era rapidly changing climate, relationship between timing those events and environmental cues such as temperature, snowmelt, water availability, day length are particular interest. This article provides overview observer‐based plant phenology sampling conducted by U.S. National Ecological Observatory Network ( NEON ), resulting data, rationale behind design. Trained...
Abstract Global change drivers influence ecological processes at multiple scales and manifest across most of Earth as changes in biodiversity, biogeochemical cycles, infectious disease incidence, ecohydrology. Small‐scale investigations provide compelling evidence specific effects global on local systems, but are limited use modeling complex continental‐to‐global scales. Long‐term observations distributed a diversity habitat types needed to improve the ability forecast large spatial temporal...
Abstract In recent decades, the use of satellite sensors, near‐surface cameras, and other remote methods for monitoring vegetation phenology at landscape higher scales has become increasingly common. These technologies provide a means to determine timing phenophases growing season length different spatial resolutions; coverage that is not attainable by human observers. However, in situ ground observations are required validate remotely derived phenometrics. Despite increased knowledge...
Abstract It is a critical time to reflect on the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) science date as well envision what research can be done right now with NEON (and other) data and training needed enable diverse user community. became fully operational in May 2019 has pivoted from planning construction operation maintenance. In this overview, history of foundational thinking around are discussed. A framework open described discussion how situated part larger constellation—across...
An increasing number of network observatories have been established globally to collect long-term biogeochemical data at multiple spatial and temporal scales. Although many outstanding questions in biogeochemistry would benefit from science, the ability earth- environmental-sciences community conduct synthesis studies within across networks is limited seldom done satisfactorily. We identify ideal characteristics networks, common problems with using data, key improvements strengthen intra-...
Phenology is the study of recurring plant and animal life-cycle stages which can be observed across spatial temporal scales that span orders magnitude (e.g., organisms to landscapes). The variety at phenological processes operate reflected in range methods for collecting phenologically relevant data, programs focused on these collections. Consideration scale observations are made, platform used observation, critical interpretation data application both research questions land management...
Grassland prairies of western Oregon and Washington are among the most endangered ecosystems in United States. Active management restoration needed to promote biodiversity region. To support plant production for use habitat restoration, we developed germination protocols greenhouse propagation Iris tenax (Oregon iris). Dormancy was effectively overcome (63% germination) by four weeks warm stratification at 20/30°C followed 6–12 cold 5°C suggesting that I. may have morphophysiological...
Sidalcea malviflora ssp. virgata (rose checkermallow) is a native forb in the Pacific Northwest, USA; it common species upland prairies of Willamette Valley, Oregon, and state listed endangered Washington State. This provides high value nectar supply for butterflies this region, including Icaricia icarioides fenderi (Fender's blue butterfly), therefore targeted inclusion habitat restoration projects throughout region. In past propagation efforts, S. has demonstrated poor germination,...
Quantifying the resilience of ecological communities to increasingly frequent and severe environmental disturbance, such as natural disasters, requires long-term continuous observations a research community that is itself resilient. Investigators must have reliable access data, variety resources facilitate response perturbation, mechanisms for rapid efficient return function and/or adaptation post-disaster conditions. There are always challenges meeting these requirements, which may be...
