Examples of Resources Inventory and Monitoring in National Parks of California.Proceedings of the Biennial Conference (3rd) on Research in California's National Parks. Held in Davis, California, on September 13-15, 1988

摘要

The papers in the book were selected from the 81 presentations given at the ThirdBiennial Conference on Research in California's National Parks. The overall theme for the meeting was 'The Integration of Research into National Park Service Resource Management Decisions.' The book highlights research and resource management efforts to inventory and monitor natural and cultural resources in the national parks of California. Many of the inventory and monitoring protocols and techniques should be applicable to other national park areas throughout the United States, and possibly throughout the world. The papers in the book naturally divide themselves into three major sections: (1) Fauna; (2) Flora; and (3) Physical Processes. Each section is prefaced with a brief introduction that integrates information in the subsequent papers of that section. The majority of the papers in the proceedings deal with the inventory and monitoring of animals and vegetation, but there is also a section on monitoring techniques for fire management and physical resources.
