Review the NON-STANDARD Herbaceous Field Guide, NON-STANDARD Shrub & Sapling Field Guide, NON-STANDARD Site Set-Up Field Guide, NON-STANDARD Tree Circumference Field Guide, and the NON-STANDARD Tree Mapping Field Guide to learn how to set up a non-standard carbon cycle site to take carbon and plant growth measurements using the GLOBE Carbon Cycle protocols. Determine which vegetation types you will measure, perform field measurements to assess carbon storage and plant growth, and upload data to the GLOBE database. Additional training:

As part of phenology we study the seasonal and climatic changes in the environment. Review the Green Up–Green Down – Grass Green Up field guide to learn about observing the green-up phase for grasses, which begins as the dormancy of the grass is broken by changes in environmental conditions such as more hours of daylight and an increase in air temperatures. Additional training:
tree-down
As part of phenology we study the seasonal and climatic changes in the environment. Review the Green Up–Green Down – Tree and Shrub Green Down field guide to learn about observing the green-down phase for trees and shrubs, which begins as the hours of daylight and temperatures begin to decrease. Additional training:
tree-up
Phenology is the study of the effect of seasonal and climatic changes in the environment. Review the Green Up–Green Down – Tree and Shrub Green Up field guide to learn about observing the green-up phase for trees and shrubs, which is often seen as the buds of trees and shrubs opening, caused by changes in environmental conditions such as an increase in hours of daylight and air temperatures. Additional training:
land-cover
Review the Land Cover Classification field guide to learn how to classify land cover using the Modified UNESCO Classification (MUC) system. This system can be used to classify land cover around the globe, allowing you to identify the land cover classification of your study site. Additional training:
phenological
Review the Phenological Gardens field guide to learn how to plant a garden and observe the flowering and leaf development stages of specified plants throughout the year.
