What is a Field Station?

Field stations are outdoor-based centers for research, teaching, and engagement found all across the globe.  The scale of field station studies ranges from molecular to organismal and from meter-square plots to landscapes thousands of kilometers in size.  Some field stations have existed for well over a hundred years.
