Klamath Vegetation Monitoring Data Package

Description

This dataset contains monitoring data for vegetation at Crater Lake NP, Lassen Volcanic NP, Lava Beds NM, Oregon Caves NMP, Redwood NSP, and Whiskeytown NRA. A core concept of the Klamath Inventory and Monitoring Networks vegetation monitoring protocol is that assessing the composition, structure, and function of vegetation communities, can be used to evaluate the ecological integrity of wider park habitats. Therefore, monitoring vegetation change is imperative to detecting and understanding the status and trends in park ecosystems. Objectives are to: sample vegetation and environmental parameters every 3 years using a 3 year revisit frequency; monitor status and trends in vegetation composition; monitor status and trends in vegetation structure and function.
