General Information

General Description 100 (LTER1) is the Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest's primary upland weather station. More intensive climate data is collected at this station than the other upland stations.
Vegetation Description The fenced area surrounding the weather station is mowed at least twice each season, resulting in a lawn of native grasses. Vegetation outside the fenced area is removed as necessary to keep the area cleared to LTER standards.
History Climate at BCEF is monitored at two primary weather stations corresponding to the two geographic regions of the Experimental Forest; this one (LTER1) in the upland and one on the floodplain (LTER2). LTER1 was established as the BNZ primary weather station in the fall of 1987. Instrumentation installed in June 1988 updated this station to LTER level I standard. An Omnidata logger was installed initially, but replaced by Campbell equipment during 1995 when the BNZ weather station equipment was updated. Following the upgrade, cellular phones were installed at the two weather stations so that data can be downloaded daily by modem.
Directions This site is located south of the Bonanza Creek Road 2 miles from the Parks highway.
