The site is managed by the Oklahoma State University Division of Agricultural Sciences. The research station consists of 6.3 km2 (1560 acres) of upland prairie in the Rolling Red Plains region of Oklahoma. OAES is part of NEON\u0027s Southern Plains Domain (D11), which stretches over the central sections of Texas and Oklahoma and includes portions of southern Kansas and southern New Mexico. D11 has three other NEON field sites, including one additional terrestrial and two aquatic sites, located in Texas and Oklahoma.","citation":null,"relatedIdentifiers":null,"status":{"label":"Operational","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/elter_cl\/10772"},"yearEstablished":2015,"yearClosed":null,"relatedSites":null,"siteName":"Marvin Klemme Range Research Station NEON","shortName":"OAES","siteType":"Non-stationary land-based site","protectionLevel":null,"landUse":null,"images":[{"url":"https:\/\/deims.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2020-06\/48790452232_7b8ef69caf_h.jpg","alt":"OAES Tower, Photo By: Allison Holdorf"},{"url":"https:\/\/deims.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2020-06\/48790306296_8a055f2130_b.jpg","alt":"OAES landscape, photo by: Kaitlan Jones"}]},"environmentalCharacteristics":{"airTemperature":{"yearlyAverage":15.5,"monthlyAverage":null,"unit":"\u00b0C","referencePeriod":null},"precipitation":{"yearlyAverage":670,"monthlyAverage":null,"unit":"mm","referencePeriod":null},"biogeographicalRegion":null,"biome":"grasslands","ecosystemType":[{"label":"Grasslands","uri":null}],"eunisHabitat":null,"landforms":null,"geoBonBiome":["Terrestrial"],"geology":"The soil parent materials at the OAES site are residuum and colluvium derived from the late Permian age Doxey Formation (shale), which is composed of reddish sandstone and siltstone.
