The Critical Zone Observatory is an interdisciplinary research project created to study the chemical, physical, geological, and biological processes that shape the Earth's surface and supports most terrestrial life on the planet. There are 10 CZO sites funded by the National Science Foundation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Critical Zone Observatories U.S. NSF National Program )〕 The ten CZO sites are Boulder Creek, Calhoun, Christina River Basin, Eel River, Intensively Managed Landscapes (IML), Jemez River Basin & Santa Catalina Mountains, Luquillo, Reynolds Creek, Susquehanna Shale Hills, and Southern Sierra. The program was created to research what scientists call Earth's Critical Zone, the porous "near surface layer" that starts with the tops of trees and including the deepest water sources. By researching how organisms, rock, air, water, and soil interact, scientists hope to better understand natural habitats as well as concerns like food availability and water quality.〔 To understand these complex reactions, especially in light of global warming researchers from a wide range of disciplines including geosciences, hydrology, microbiology, ecology, soil science, and engineering are needed to study the critical zone.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Frontiers in Exploration of the Critical Zone: Report of a Workshop sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) )〕 The national initiative is guided by the Critical Zone Exploration Network. == NSF-funded Critical Zone Observatories ==
