NEON Biorepository Data Portal services:
The majority of the NEON samples published here are physically housed at the Arizona State University Biocollections, located in Tempe, Arizona.
The portal also integrates NEON samples with specimens from the same sites in external collections, allowing for research on biodiversity at NEON sites over a broader taxonomic and temporal extent.
This portal is offered through the Symbiota software platform and is informationally synchronized with the main NEON Data Portal, which serves the full spectrum of NEON data products.
To learn more about the features and capabilities available through Symbiota, visit the Symbiota Help Pages.
Read more about NEON's history and experimental design in the main portal.
