Mojave Desert Network Integrated Upland Monitoring 2012 Pilot Study for Great Basin National Park.

摘要

The Integrated Upland (IU) Monitoring Protocol of the Mojave Desert Network Inventory and Monitoring Program (MOJN I&M) is one of the long-term monitoring protocols developed for the National Park Service “Vital Signs Monitoring Program,” a long-term ecological monitoring program that will provide rigorous, scientifically-based information on the status and trends of park ecosystems. Data from this program are intended to help park managers evaluate complex and challenging resource issues and make sound decisions that result in long-term protection of park resources. Information on park resource conditions will also be useful for park planning, research, education, and public awareness.
