As part of NEON's design and development activities, a number of data sets are being collected to aid in designing and testing protocols, assess the level of effort required for executing protocols, and to design infrastructure to support sample and data collection in the field. These data sets have different levels of processing, QA/QC and independent verification than the long term data sets we anticipate from the facility.

NEON will make these data available to the community under its open data policy, but until the NEON information system is completed, distribution and documentation will be on an "as-is" basis.  >More information 

Interested users may request access to these prototype data sets via NEON's Prototype Data Sharing system.
