NEON is specifically designed to study the effects of climate change and invasive species on ecosystems. The network collects data across multiple sites using standardized methods to enable cross-site comparisons and ultimately provide a big picture of ecosystem health and functioning. While the other options may also be important areas of study, they are not the primary focus of NEON.
