Maintain instruments and collect samples, specimens, and data across NEON domains through field sampling, field observations, and experiments. Collect field and laboratory data, check data for accuracy and maintains research records. Review sampling protocols, and suggest research approaches that maximize outcomes and efficiencies. Supervise research personnel and student employees. Help establish and maintain research site plots. Describe annual variation of the presence and abundance of plant species. Measure the vegetation structure and mapping of free standing woody stem, and record the types and structure of woody species to understand changes in woody biomass stocks and fluxes. Record the seasonal progression of critical biological process and timing of ecological events in plants. Conduct Leaf Area Index (LAI) using the Digital Hemispherical Photo (DPH) System for the ecological interest of plant biomass, plant productivity carbon balance, plant diversity, and diversity of plant cover. Conduct and herb clip harvest to estimate the herbaceous biomass produce. Collect samples of canopy foliage to help track changes in chemical and physical properties on sunlit foliage over time. Conduct fine root biomass stock and Coarse Down Wood (CDW). Collect litter fall (PVC elevated traps) and Ground litter traps to provide essential data for understanding vegetative Carbon fluxes over time. Collect soil core collection and deployment of soil incubations for Nitrogen-transformation measurements, soil moisture, and soil pH. Mark-recapture method to evaluate the dynamics of small mammal diversity and disease across time and space. Collect mosquito specimens for DNA barcoding. Collect beetle specimens (Coleoptera: Carabidae) using pitfall traps to indicate environmental change due to their sensitivity to habitat disturbance. Collect ticks using a drag cloth method to measure the quantity of ticks in different location between different times.
