The land is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Geological Survey as part of the larger Chase Lake National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). WOOD is ecompassed in the heart of the Missouri Coteau, on a 10.4 km2 (2561 acre) Waterfowl Production Area dedicated to research by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. NEON sampling at WOOD occurs across a sampling area of 11 km2 (2718 acres). The region includes a patchwork of grasslands, agricultural, and wetland\/aquatic communities embedded in small agrarian communities. The site is a restored prairie located in an undulating matrix of small lakes, ponds, and ephemeral prairie potholes formed by glaciers 10,000 years ago. It is part of NEON\u0027s Northern Plains Domain (D09), which includes two other terrestrial field sites and two aquatic field sites.","citation":null,"relatedIdentifiers":null,"status":{"label":"Operational","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/elter_cl\/10772"},"yearEstablished":2016,"yearClosed":null,"relatedSites":[{"typeOfRelationship":{"label":"groups with","uri":"null"},"listOfSites":[{"type":"site","title":"Prairie Pothole NEON - United States of America","id":{"prefix":"https:\/\/deims.org\/","suffix":"f22236b4-e63c-44bc-b0bc-112a96453166"},"changed":"2025-09-18T15:40:21+0200"}]}],"siteName":"Chase Lake National Wildlife Refuge NEON","shortName":"WOOD","siteType":"Platform","protectionLevel":null,"landUse":null,"images":[{"url":"https:\/\/deims.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2020-06\/48789798732_8afe2ebb67_b.jpg","alt":"WOOD site"},{"url":"https:\/\/deims.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2020-06\/48789712461_85a122c185_b.jpg","alt":"Native Plants at WOOD"}]},"environmentalCharacteristics":{"airTemperature":{"yearlyAverage":4.9,"monthlyAverage":null,"unit":"\u00b0C","referencePeriod":null},"precipitation":{"yearlyAverage":494,"monthlyAverage":null,"unit":"mm","referencePeriod":null},"biogeographicalRegion":null,"biome":"grasslands","ecosystemType":[{"label":"Grasslands","uri":null}],"eunisHabitat":null,"landforms":null,"geoBonBiome":["Terrestrial"],"geology":"Composing the Coleharbor Formation, river sediments (sand and gravel).
