Dynamics of alpine tree line has been reported from several mountain ranges in Europe, in North America, New Zealand as well as in the Alps (Grabherr et al. 1994). This led to the formation of the GLORIA (Global Observation Research Initiative in Alpine Environments) project, dedicated to initiate a global indicator network towards research on the effects of climate change through an international co-operation. Indian part of Himalaya was not having any site towards this mission till 2013. Therefore, based on some Indian studies which also indicated this trend in more pronounced manner, the need of having Indian network was felt. It was in this context as a part of network project across the Indian Himalayan states under the banner of HIMADRI (Himalayan Alpine Dynamics Research Initiative) a long-term monitoring site was established in Kashmir Himalaya at Gulmarg, a famous hill resort. This particular work plan (TeaComposition initiative) is conducted at this selected HIMADRI site. Gulmarg lies on the north east side of the Pir Panjal Range and is about 60 kms west of Srinagar city. It encompasses the upper catchment area of Ferozpur Nullah and the forests that surround the Gulmarg meadow. The vegetation in Gulmarg mainly comprises of coniferous temperate mountain forests of Blue Pine (Pinus Wallichiana), sub-alpine forests of Silver Fir (Abies pindrow) and Himalayan Birch (Betula utilis), followed by alpine scrub and meadows.

Walker Branch is a core wadeable stream site located in the deciduous forest of the Oak Ridge Reservation in eastern Tennessee. This site is part of NEON's Appalachians and Cumberland Plateau Domain 7. Remote sensing surveys of this site collect lidar, spectrometer and high resolution RGB camera data. This site has one meteorological station located in the riparian area. The met station is outfitted with a subset of the same sensors used at terrestrial sites. Measurements include wind speed and direction, air temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity, shortwave radiation, and PAR. This site has one upstream sensor station and one downstream sensor station. Measurements include PAR, temperature, water quality [specific conductivity, chlorophyll a, dissolved oxygen content, pH, turbidity, and fluorescent dissolved organic matter (only downstream)], and nitrate is measured at the downstream station. Three groundwater wells throughout the site collect specific conductivity, water tempertaure, and elevation of groundwater. Field ecologists collect the following types of observational data at this site: aquatic organisms (Aquatic Microbes (surface water),macroinvertebrates microalgae, plants and macroalgae, zooplankton. Biogeochemical data on plants,sediment water and particulates.As well as physical aquatic data on bathymetric maps, stage,secchi depth and depth profiles, and riparian assessment.Total data products planned for this site: 78

The Posey Creek (POSE) core aquatic site is part of NEON's Mid-Altantic Domain 2 sites. POSEY is a wadeable stream near Front Royal, VA and is located on the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute land. It is a shallow stream (<40 cm at average flow) and 3 - 5 m wide (6 meters wide during high flows). This site has one meteorological station located in the riparian area. The met station is outfitted with a subset of the same sensors used at terrestrial sites. Measurements include wind speed and direction, air temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity, shortwave radiation, and PAR. This site has one upstream sensor station and one downstream sensor station. Measurements include PAR, temperature, water quality [specific conductivity, chlorophyll a, dissolved oxygen content, pH, turbidity, and fluorescent dissolved organic matter (only downstream)], and nitrate is measured at the downstream station. Eight groundwater wells throughout the site collect specific conductivity, water tempertaure, and elevation of groundwater. Field ecologists collect the following types of observational data at this site: aquatic organisms (Aquatic Microbes (surface water), macroinvertebratesmicroalgae, plants and macroalgae, zooplankton. Biogeochemical data on plants,sediment water and particulates. As well as physical aquatic data on bathymetric maps, stage,secchi depth and depth profiles, and riparian assessment.

The Lewis Run relocateable aquatic site is a small 2nd order wadeable stream located about 60 miles west of Washington DC in Clarke County, Virginia. The majority of the stream reach flows past and through agricultural lands on the Casey Trees property. This site is one of two aquatic sites found within Domain 02, the Mid-Atlantic. This site has one meteorological station located in the riparian area. The met station is outfitted with a subset of the same sensors used at terrestrial sites. Measurements include wind speed and direction, air temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity, shortwave radiation, and PAR. This site has one upstream sensor station and one downstream sensor station. Measurements include PAR, temperature, water quality [specific conductivity, chlorophyll a, dissolved oxygen content, pH, turbidity, and fluorescent dissolved organic matter (only downstream)], and nitrate is measured at the downstream station.

Hailun Agricultural Ecological Station located in Hailun city, Heilongjiang province, was established in 1978, briefly named Hailun Agro-ecosystem Station. The main research fields at that time were the optimal management of agriculture and advanced technology utilization in agricultural production. Chinese ecosystem research network(CERN) established in 1988 selected Hailun station as one of its components. The objective of Hailun station was to study the agro-ecosystem and sustainable development of agriculture in black soil zone in Northease China. Also, Hailun station was considered as one of components, when national field research net was built in 2005.

The Rio Cupeyes (CUPE) core aquatic wadeable stream field site is part of the NEON Altantic Neotropical domain 04. The site is located in a rainforest area within the mountains of western Puerto Rico. The Rio Cupeyes is one of the most pristine 2nd order streams on the island, and is part of the Guanajibo River watershed in the Maricao State Forest. The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico manages the area. This wilderness area is used primarily for fishing and other recreational activities.The area is made up of old and second growth tropical moist and wet forest. And the Rio Cupeyes represents an increasingly rare intact Puerto Rican stream ecosystem. Automated stream sensors, and meteorological stations collect data year round and NEON field scientists collect field observations of aquatic plants, animals, biogeochemistry and more. Due to logistical and permitting issues, this aquatic site does not have groundwater wells. Total data products collected at this site: 76.

Rio Guilarte (GUIL) a relocatable aqautic site and is part of the NEON Altantic Neotropical 04 domain. GUIL is a 2nd order wadeable stream field site located in central Puerto Rico on the site of an older agricultural experimental station. The surrounding land has primary been used for growing coffee, oranges and limes. This is a rainforest area, with daily afternoon rains and frequent flooding. Bamboo and other thick vegetation line the riverbanks and the water level can change dramatically when the rains come through. Automated stream sensors, and meteorological stations collect data year round and NEON field scientists collect field observations of aquatic plants, animals, biogeochemistry and more. This site has one meteorological station located in the riparian area. The met station is outfitted with a subset of the same sensors used at terrestrial sites. Measurements include wind speed and direction, air temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity, shortwave radiation, and PAR. This site has one phenocam near the stream. Six groundwater wells throughout the site collect specific conductivity, water tempertaure, and elevation of groundwater. Total data products collected at this site: 81
