Three observatory types of Korean Ecological Observatory Network and their observation lists

Category Supersites (2) Local sites (3) MDP (2)
Definition Integrated terrestrial ecosystem observatory, depending on the climate-vegetation zones (temperate and warm-temperate zone) Automatic ecosystem observatory considering the characteristics of local scale three ecosystem types Take action on the urgent ecological concern (e.g., outbreak, wildfire, mass mortality)
Observation e.g., Meteorology, hydrology, biogeochemistry, phenology, remote sensing, land cover, population dynamics, pedology Wetland: e.g., population dynamics, hydrology & water quality, methane emission
Urban: e.g., pollutants, carbon cycle, disease-carrying animals, pedology
Gotjawal: e.g., population dynamics, phenology, carbon cycle
e.g., meteorology, carbon cycle, pollutants, soil sampling, unmanned aerial vehicle remote sensing

MDP: mobile deployment platform.
