Book Prairie Vegetation Monitoring Protocol for the North Coast and Cascades Network

Download or read book Prairie Vegetation Monitoring Protocol for 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 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prairies and Garry oak woodlands were once extensive in the lowlands of Washington and Oregon. Today, it is estimated that less than 3% of these areas still exist and many are severely degraded. The goal of the prairie monitoring project is to detect and describe changes in the extent and quality of prairie (herbaceous) communities in San Juan Island National Historical Park. The extent and distribution of prairies, oak woodlands, and forests are important attributes of the park's cultural landscape.

Book Forest Vegetation Monitoring Protocol for the North Coast and Cascades Network

Download or read book Forest Vegetation Monitoring Protocol for 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 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This protocol narrative outlines the rationale, sampling design and methods for monitoring forest vegetation in the North Coast and Cascades Network (NCCN) as part of the Vital Signs Monitoring Program of the National Park Service (NPS). The NPS defines "vital signs" as "a relatively small set of information-rich attributes that are used to track the overall condition or "health" of park natural resources and to provide early warning of situations that require intervention" (Fancy et al. 2009).

Book Vegetation Community Monitoring Protocol for the Heartland Inventory and Monitoring Network

Download or read book Vegetation Community Monitoring Protocol for the Heartland Inventory and Monitoring Network written by Kevin M. James and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-09-27 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vegetation community monitoring in the HTLN parks is designed to detect and describe changes in prairie, savanna-woodland and forested communities. There are three primary objectives for the monitoring defined in this protocol: 1. Describe the species composition, structure and diversity of prairie, savanna-woodland and forested communities; 2. Determine temporal changes in the species composition, structure and diversity of prairie, savanna-woodland and forested communities; 3. Determine the relationship between temporal and spatial changes and environmental variables including specific management practices.

Book Protocol for Landsat Based Monitoring of Landscape Dynamics in North Coast and Cascades Network Parks

Download or read book Protocol for Landsat Based Monitoring of Landscape Dynamics in North Coast and Cascades Network Parks written by National Park National Park Service and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landscape dynamics refers to a large suite of ecological and geomorphological processes occurring across broad spatial scales. As part of Vital Signs Monitoring, the North Coast and Cascades Network (NCCN) of the National Park Service developed a protocol for monitoring landscape dynamics using remote sensing. Protocol implementation involves cooperative work with the Laboratory for Applications of Remote Sensing in Ecology (LARSE) at Oregon State University, leveraging their use of Landsat remotely sensed imagery to detect landscape change. LARSE has developed a set of algorithms called LandTrendr (Landsat-based Detection of Trends in Disturbance and Recovery).

Book excerpt: This protocol outlines the justification, objectives, and procedures developed for long-term monitoring of vegetation and soil throughout the National Parks Service's (NPS) Eastern Rivers and Mountains Network (ERMN) within the Inventory and Monitoring Program. Included in this protocol are: (1) background, rationale, and objectives for monitoring of vegetation and soil, (2) sampling design, (3) field methods, (4) data management, analysis, and reporting, (5) personnel requirements and training, and (6) operational requirements. Detailed Standard Operating Procedures that describe how all aspects of the protocol are implemented are included at the end of this document.

Book Implementation of Landscape Dynamics Monitoring at the North Coast and Cascades Network

Download or read book Implementation of Landscape Dynamics Monitoring at 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 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the first implementation of the "Protocol for Landsat-Based Monitoring of Landscape Dynamics at North Coast and Cascades Network Park" (Kennedy et al. 2007a). The Protocol contains a detailed description of the methodology for the NCCN landscape dynamics monitoring and provides the context for this report. In this report, we summarize the changes made to the original protocol methodology during its implementation. We also provide the results of the 2004/2005-2006 change detection analysis and validation for MORA, NOCA and OLYM. Lastly, we evaluate the ability of this protocol to address the NCCN's landscape dynamics monitoring goals.
