Phenological Observations

The LTAR locations are installing cameras to monitor areas of research interest for extended periods of time. As participants in the PhenoCam Network, one aspect of the analysis is to monitor seasonal changes in the amount and shade of green in the images. Many sites also include infrared images.

16 LTAR sites out of the 18 participate in the Phenocam Network with a total of 80 cameras.
