The 34.9km2 (8630 acre) site is encompassed within the Gu\u00e1nica State Forest and Biosphere Reserve and managed by the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico\u2019s Department of Natural and Environmental Resources. The forest was designated as a Biosphere Reserve by the United Nations in 1981 and supports numerous global ecological research programs. The area is characterized by low annual rainfall and high evapotranspiration. Plant species along the reserve include cacti, grasses, and shrubs and the forest has of areas with semi-evergreen, deciduous and scrub trees. This location is part of the NEON Atlantic Neotropical Domain (D04), which includes the island of Puerto Rico and the southern tip of Florida. The Domain includes one additional terrestrial field site and two aquatic field sites.

Its estimated thickness is about 850 m. This geology can also be observed at the municipalities of Santa Isabel (Descalabrado River), Ponce (Punta Cuchara Reserve), Penuelas, Guayanilla (Punta Verraco Farm), Sabana Grande, and Guanica.","hydrology":"The R\u00edo Loco\/Gu\u00e1nica Bay watershed is located in the southwest corner of Puerto Rico, covering portions of Gu\u00e1nica, Yauco, Lajas and Cabo Rojo counties and discharging into the Gu\u00e1nica Bay. It is considered one of the major riparian discharge points in the southwest coast. This watershed is highly manipulated and is used as a drinking water supply by local populations in these counties as well as for irrigation of crops and flood control in the Lajas Valley.","soils":"The soils of Gu\u00e1nica Forest are derived from limestone formed from marine deposits. Soils are typical to the region: fine-loamy, mixed, carbonatic, typic haplocalcids. These soils are from the Aridisol taxonomic order used to describe dry, desert-like soils with low organic content which are sparsely vegetated by drought- or salt-tolerant plants.","vegetation":"The Gu\u00e1nica Dry Forest Reserve is home to over 700 plant species and divided into three groups: upland deciduous forest, semi-evergreen forest, and the scrub forest closest to the shore. The vegetation is thick and dense with many multiple-stemmed trees. Forest cover is a mosaic of mature native forest of \u003E100 years old and secondary forests dominated by native and introduced species."},"geographic":{"boundaries":"POLYGON ((-66.871951618
