Invasive Exotic Plant Monitoring in Golden Spike National Historic Site: 2012 Field Season.

摘要

Invasive exotic plant (IEP) species are one of the biggest threats to natural ecosystem integrity and biodiversity, and controlling them is a high priority for the National Park Service. The Northern Colorado Plateau Network (NCPN) selected the early detection of IEPs as one of 10 monitoring protocols to be implemented as part of its long-term monitoring program. This report represents work completed during the 2012 field season at Golden Spike National Historic Site (GOSP).
