Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site. Natural Resource Condition Assessment.

摘要

The Natural Resource Condition Assessment (NRCA) Program aims to provide documentation about the current conditions of important park natural resources through a spatially explicit, multi-disciplinary synthesis of existing scientific data and knowledge. Findings from the NRCA, including the report and accompanying map products, will help KNRI managers to develop near-term management priorities; engage in watershed or landscape scale partnership and education efforts; conduct park planning (e.g., Resource Stewardship Strategy); and report program performance (e.g., Department of the Interiors Strategic Plan land health goals, Government Performance and Results Act). The objectives of this assessment are to evaluate and to report on current conditions of key park resources, to evaluate critical data and knowledge gaps, and to highlight selected existing stressors and emerging threats to resources or processes.
