NEON Prototype data: Vegetation structure and canopy chemistry, D17 SJER and SOAP sites, 2013

A key component of the NEON Science Designs is co-located sampling of a variety of types of ecological data. This prototype dataset contains a number of these ecological data types, collected in June of 2013 at the SJER and SOAP sites in Domain D17 by the Terrestrial Observation System (TOS) before the development of the final standardized protocols. This effort informed development of numerous data products, including Plant foliar physical and chemical properties (DP1.10026), Plant foliar stable isotopes (DP1.10053), and Woody plant vegetation structure (DP1.10098). This prototype field campaign also informed logistics and methods necessary for collocated collection of remote-sensing and ground-based datasets.

NEON科学设计（NEON Science Designs）的核心组成部分，是对多种类型的生态数据实施协同定位采样。本原型数据集涵盖多类此类生态数据，相关数据由陆地观测系统（Terrestrial Observation System, TOS）于2013年6月在D17区域的SJER与SOAP站点采集，采集工作开展于最终标准化协议定稿之前。此次采样工作为多款数据产品的研发提供了关键支撑，其中包括植物叶部物理化学特性（DP1.10026）、植物叶部稳定同位素（DP1.10053）以及木本植物植被结构（DP1.10098）。本次原型野外科考活动，还为遥感数据集与地面数据集的协同采集所需的后勤保障与方法体系提供了参考依据。
