Bandelier National Monument Natural Resource Condition Assessment.

摘要

Natural Resource Condition Assessments (NRCAs) evaluate current conditions for a subset of natural resources and resource indicators in national park units. NRCAs also report on trends in resource condition (when possible), identify critical data gaps, and characterize a general level of confi-dence for study findings. The resources and indicators emphasized in a given project depend on the park’s resource setting, the status of resource stewardship planning, and science, the identification of high-priority indicators, the availability of data and the expertise to assess current conditions for a variety of potential study resources and indicators.
