Fig. 2. National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) site plans for Central Plains Experimental Range (Greely, Colorado) and BARR (Utqiaġvik, Alaska-formerly known as Barrow, Alaska). These sites are representative of design choices that locating site infrastructure near local roads (shown in figure) and in area that have accessible utilities for power and communications. In both cases the surrounding area is rural (farming area in Colorado and Utqiaġvik is a remote village in Alaska only accessible by airplane or ship) (figure is a product of the NEON program and can be used by any member of the NEON team. It is open access and may be used).
