Natural Resource Condition Assessment for Ninety Six National Historic Site.

摘要

This report provides a comprehensive assessment of the state of natural resources at Ninety Six National Historic Site (NISI). It also addresses sets of stressors that threaten these resources and the biological integrity of habitats in the park. Because of the relatively recent start of I&M data collections at NISI, this report can also play a role in directing future efforts for monitoring. This assessment focuses on vital signs outlined by the Cumberland/Piedmont Network, and on attributes for which recent I&M data collections have been conducted. Assessed attributes are roughly organized into broad groups of resources as follows: air, water, animal communities, plant communities, and landscape dynamics.
