The Knowledge Network for Biocomplexity (KNB) is a national network intended to facilitate ecological and environmental research on biocomplexity. For scientists, the KNB is an efficient way to discover, access, interpret, integrate and analyze complex ecological data from a highly-distributed set of field stations, laboratories, research sites, and individual researchers.

KNB News

• We have added a list of sites using KNB software.

• We are now accepting nominations for the inclusion of particularly valuable ecological data sets within the KNB.

• Slides are available for the Second KNB Data Management Tools Workshop, which was held February 2-4, 2005.

• Slides are available for the First KNB Data Management Tools Workshop, which was held September 28-30, 2004.
