Download or read book Alpine and Subalpine Vegetation Monitoring Protocol for the North Coast and Cascade written by National Park National Park Service and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Subalpine and alpine areas are ecologically important zones that provide popular recreational opportunities for visitors to Mount Rainier (MORA), North Cascades (NOCA), and Olympic (OLYM) National Parks. The subalpine parkland is a mosaic of tree clumps and herbaceous meadows extending from forestline to treeline. The sparsely vegetated alpine zone continues up to the permanent ice and snow cover the peaks of the Cascades and Olympics. Collectively, the subalpine and alpine zones comprise the alpine treeline ecotone - a transition between the closed canopy forests below and bare rock or ice covering the mountain or ridge tops. Vegetation distribution and composition in this zone is primarily determined by low temperatures, snow depth, and duration of snow cover and therefore is very sensitive to climate change.

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).

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.

This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rocky Mountain Inventory & Monitoring Network (ROMN) includes a wide range of environments, ranging from mountain peaks to evergreen and deciduous forests to Western grasslands. The six units of the Network include Glacier National Park, Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site, Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument, Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, and Rocky Mountain National Park. Here, we present a protocol to inventory and monitor alpine vegetation within the three mountainous units of the Network (Glacier National Park, Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, and Rocky Mountain National Park).
