This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Park Service (NPS) is charged with the responsibility of managing park natural resources and preventing their loss or impairment. To meet this responsibility, NPS established the Natural Resource Inventory and Monitoring Program (I&M) to provide funding and technical support to approximately 269 national park units. The goals of this program are to help park units collect scientifically credible ecological resource information and to develop or improve field and analytical monitoring techniques to aid park managers in managing, planning, and protecting their natural resources. As a first step toward meeting I&M goals, NPS initiated its Natural Resource Inventories Program in 2001. This five-year program emphasizes gathering a core set of data describing park vascular plant and vertebrate resources. Furthermore, parks within the North Coast / Cascades Network, including San Juan Island National Historical Park (NHP) held "vital signs" workshops to identify and implement a core program of monitoring. The network monitoring program focuses on the most critical ecological parameters and stressors identified for the network as a whole. All seven parks in the North Coast / Cascades Network identified landbirds as a critical faunal resource to be monitored.

Book excerpt: In 2002 The Institute for Bird Populations (IBP) collaborated with personnel at Olympic National Park to initiate a two-year, park-wide, inventory of landbirds. The broad goals of the inventory are to elucidate spatial patterns of abundance across the park for a large suite of species, and to produce information that will assist park managers and cooperators in designing the park's long-term landbird monitoring program.

This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Park Service (NPS) Vegetation Inventory Program (VIP) is an effort to classify, describe and map existing vegetation of national park units for the NPS Nature Resource Inventory and Monitoring Program. The Washington Natural Heritage Program (WNHP), working in cooperation with the North Coast and Cascades Network (NCCN), has completed a vegetation classification and map of San Juan Island National Historical Park (SAJH). Every vegetation type with the park was classified and mapped to at least the NVC Alliance level. Many types were classified and mapped to the Association level of the NVC.
Download or read book Landbird Inventory for Lewis and Clark National Historical Park 2004 Final Report written by National Park National Park Service and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reported declines of many birds breeding in North America have stimulated interest in avian population trends and mechanisms driving those trends (DeSante and George 1994). The North American Breeding Bird Survey suggests that landbird populations in Pacific Northwest lateseral forests appear to be in serious decline (Sauer et al. 2003), and data from the national parks are particularly important for teasing out possible causes. Quantitative survey data for bird habitat usage and abundance at Lewis and Clark National Historical Park are currently lacking. Existing presence/absence data are insufficient for tracking population changes over time, or for gauging the effects of any future management actions that may alter habitat conditions. These goals require species-specific density estimates.
Download or read book Landbird Monitoring in the North Coast and Cascades Network written by National Park National Park Service and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2006 we conducted our second and final pilot field season to field-test and refine our Draft North Coast and Cascades Network Landbird Monitoring Protocol. The protocol requires annual survey effort consisting of an annual panel (34 transects) plus an alternating panel (another 34 transects) in the large parks-Mount Rainier National Park (MORA), North Cascades National Park Service Complex (NOCA), or Olympic National Park (OLYM) -and the completion of a grid of survey points at either of the smaller parks-San Juan Island National Historical Park (SAJH) or Lewis and Clark National Historical Park (LEWI)-which will be surveyed in alternating years. However, for this pilot year we reduced the effort and surveyed only the annual panel of transects in the large parks as well as the full survey grid at LEWI. Comprehensive results from the LEWI surveys are provided in a separate report (Siegel et al. 2009b). In the three large parks, we completed surveys at 446 point count stations arrayed along 33 transects-one intended transect went unsurveyed because heavy snowpack prevented access to it. Nevertheless, we were generally pleased with the ability of our surveyors to relocate point count stations established during our 2005 pilot field season (Siegel et al. 2006a).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Puget Sound is a complex fjord-estuary system in Washington State that is connected to the Pacific Ocean by the Juan de Fuca Strait and surrounded by several large population centers. The watershed is enormous, covering nearly 43,000 square kilometers with thousands of rivers and streams. Geological forces, volcanos, Ice Ages, and changes in sea levels make the Sound a biologically dynamic and fascinating environment, as well as a productive ecosystem. Human activity has also influenced the Sound. Humans built several major cities, such as Seattle and Tacoma, have dramatically affected the Puget Sound. This book describes the natural history and evolution of Puget Sound over the last 100 million years through the present and into the future. Key Features Summarizes a complex geological, geographical, and ecological history Reviews how the Puget Sound has changed and will likely change in the future Examines the different roles of various drivers of the Sound’s ecosystem function Includes the role of humans—both first people and modern populations. Explores Puget Sound as an example of general bay ecological and environmental issues
