Site Description:
  • The NEON site at Yellowstone National Park is a mosaic of pine-dominated forest and grassland. Tower height is 21m. The terrain consists of rolling hills with small wetlands in the bottom of the depressions. The pine forest has an open structure. The tower is located on a lava tongue in an opening (~40 m diameter) surrounded by pine trees. There is little soil around the tower (only a few centimeters deep in most places) and 20-30% of the ground is exposed rock. Due to the shallow soil vegetation around the tower is sparse and consists of grasses, forbs, and aspen seedlings. The mean canopy height for the pine trees is ~ 14 m with lowest branch at ~ 2.5 m. Some small trees form top understory with height around 8 m. Some tree seedlings and shrubs form next understory with height around 1 m. Grasses form the understory at floor level with mean height ~ 0.4 m.
