This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site US-xHA NEON Harvard Forest (HARV). Site Description - The Harvard Forest site is comprised of 3,750 acres of land and multiple research facilities; it is the core NEON site for the Northeast region. Harvard Forest is a department of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of Harvard University. Representative habitats at Harvard Forest include northern, transition, and central forests; marshes, swamps, and conifer-dominated bogs; and forest plantations. Since its inception in 1907, research and education have been the focus of Harvard Forest: the original purpose was to develop a field laboratory for students, a research center in forestry and related disciplines, and a demonstration of practical sustained forestry. Since 1988, Harvard Forest has been a Long-Term Ecological Research site, funded by the National Science Foundation to conduct integrated, long-term studies of forest dynamics.
