The 4.7 km2 (1160 acre) site is hosted and operated by the University of Wisconsin \u2013 Stevens Point (UWSP), College of Natural Resources. The primary land cover types at this site are woody wetlands, mixed forest and deciduous forest. This site is approximately 1.6 km (1 mi.) south of the relocatable terrestrial site Steigerwaldt (STEI), which is managed by Steigerwaldt Land Services, Inc. The close proximity and different management plans for the two sites could lead to valuable data on the effects of different management practices on carbon cycling dynamics. TREE is located within NEON\u0027s Great Lakes Domain (D05), which includes northern Ohio, Michigan, northern Wisconsin, and parts of Indiana and Illinois. D05 hosts four other NEON field sites: two aquatic and two terrestrial, located in Wisconsin and Michigan.","citation":null,"relatedIdentifiers":null,"status":{"label":"Operational","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/elter_cl\/10772"},"yearEstablished":2015,"yearClosed":null,"relatedSites":null,"siteName":"Treehaven NEON","shortName":"TREE","siteType":"Non-stationary land-based site","protectionLevel":null,"landUse":null,"images":[{"url":"https:\/\/deims.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2020-06\/48790772892_da91dd36a8_b.jpg","alt":"Summer at TREE (c) Caleb Slemmons"},{"url":"https:\/\/deims.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2020-06\/48790628126_dbf2c287e9_b.jpg","alt":"Field tech in forest at TREE (c) Caleb Slemmons"}]},"environmentalCharacteristics":{"airTemperature":{"yearlyAverage":4.8,"monthlyAverage":null,"unit":"\u00b0C","referencePeriod":null},"precipitation":{"yearlyAverage":797,"monthlyAverage":null,"unit":"mm","referencePeriod":null},"biogeographicalRegion":null,"biome":"deciduous_forest","ecosystemType":[{"label":"Agricultural","uri":null}],"eunisHabitat":null,"landforms":null,"geoBonBiome":["Terrestrial"],"geology":"This site\u2019s bedrock is classified as Early Proterozoic mafic to felsic metavolcanic rock that is underlain by gneiss in some areas. The surface materials are loamy till from the Wildcat Lake Member of the Copper Falls Formation and meltwater stream sediment from the Wisconsin Valley Lobe. The primary parent material of this site is sandy outwash.","hydrology":"Treehaven has glacial topography that consists of glacial moraines and outwash features. Pickerel Creek flows into the site from the North and eventually merges with Big Pine Creek, which flows into the site from the northeast and out through the southwest. These both mainly feature warm water and muddy bottom habitats. This area also includes several small vernal pools and lakes.","soils":"The parent material at the site is sandy outwash and soils that are Vilas and Sayner loamy sands. Some areas are also underlain by coarse-loamy till, which leads to a slightly higher productivity in some tree species. This area is also slightly less droughty and has a higher productivity due to a thin loamy mantle in several sites that is not typically found in Vilas or Sayner soils. Soils at TREE are part of the subgroup Alfic Haplorthods.","vegetation":"The lowlands of this area consist of mixes of black spruce (Picea mariana) and tamarack (Larix laricina) forests, non-forested acid bog environments, and hardwood and cedar wetlands. The upland sites feature aspen (Populus tremuloides), paper birch (Betula papyrifera), and red maple (Acer rubrum). The upland sites also contain red pine (Pinus resinosa), white pine (Pinus strobus), white spruce (Picea glauca), and balsam fir (Abies balsamea). Overall, sugar maple (Acer saccharum), red maple (Acer Rubrum), balsam fir (Abies balsamea), grey alder (Alnus incana), and Pennsylvania sedge (Carex pensylvanica) are the most dominant species in this site."},"geographic":{"boundaries":"POLYGON ((-89.550594187 45.506503509, -89.548496375 45.506461484, -89.548467373 45.498528377, -89.544638169 45.498618742, -89.544544852 45.495020848, -89.548442381 45.494969246, -89.548333255 45.48773493, -89.548325333 45.484559107, -89.548317434 45.481376841, -89.553404233 45.481397851, -89.553419759 45.477957948, -89.558519876 45.478014181, -89.558491044 45.481415413, -89.558688884 45.491477813, -89.568596762 45.492185025, -89.568236325 45.488589981, -89.56844824 45.485015086, -89.568660101 45.481449851, -89.579268544 45.481548394, -89.579253711 45.48866979, -89.579248472 45.49227075, -89.589478901 45.492354951, -89.589437641 45.495968746, -89.568957226 45.495786508, -89.568914621 45.499409954, -89.563818078 45.499041765, -89.563783907 45.502797277, -89.553598665 45.502324337, -89.553587206 45.505925277, -89.552689501 45.505894873, -89.552701048 45.502284271, -89.550594409 45.502187515, -89.550594187 45.506503509))","coordinates":"POINT (-89.58571 45.49369)","country":["United States of America"],"elevation":{"avg":472,"min":447,"max":482,"unit":"msl"},"size":{"value":470,"unit":"ha"},"relatedLocations":null},"focusDesignScale":{"experiments":{"design":"mainly experimentation","scale":"beyond catchment scale"},"observations":{"design":"mainly observation","scale":"beyond catchment"},"observedProperties":[{"label":"DNA sequence","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/21400"},{"label":"above ground biomass","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/22025"},{"label":"air temperature","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/22035"},{"label":"atmospheric parameter","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/20937"},{"label":"biological parameter","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/20940"},{"label":"chemical parameter","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/10333"},{"label":"ecosystem parameter","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/20939"},{"label":"genetic parameter","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/20942"},{"label":"heat flux","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/22130"},{"label":"land cover","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/22142"},{"label":"landscape parameter","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/20943"},{"label":"latent heat","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/22154"},{"label":"leaf area index","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/22157"},{"label":"ozone concentration","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/22178"},{"label":"plant diversity","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/22191"},{"label":"precipitation intensity","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/22204"},{"label":"soil carbon dioxyde flux","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/21939"},{"label":"soil moisture content","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/10039"},{"label":"soil parameter","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/20944"},{"label":"species abundance","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/EnvThes\/10018"}]},"infrastructure":{"accessibleAllYear":true,"accessType":null,"allPartsAccessible":null,"maintenanceInterval":null,"permanentPowerSupply":false,"operation":{"permanent":false,"notes":null,"siteVisitInterval":null},"notes":null,"collection":null,"data":{"policy":{"url":null,"rights":null,"notes":null}}},"relatedResources":null,"projectRelated":{"lter":{"lterSiteClassification":null}}}}
