Invasive Species Early Detection Monitoring Protocol for Klamath Network Parks
Odion DC, Sarr DA, Mohren SR, Klinger RC. 2010. Invasive Species Early Detection Monitoring Protocol for Klamath Network Parks. Natural Resource Report. NPS/KLMN/NRR—2010/227. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado
Although a variety of invasive plants, animals, and pathogens are of concern in the Klamath Network, invasive plants are the most pervasive problem. Therefore, the Network’s monitoring under this protocol will concentrate on early detection of invasive plants. This protocol will focus on species that are not yet well established and are along roads and trails. Part of the reason this protocol focuses on early detection along the roads and trails is because the vegetation monitoring protocol the Network is developing proposes to broadly sample invasive plants, both spatially and taxonomically. The invasive species early detection protocol described here and the vegetation protocol complement one another to provide a broader picture of invasive species’ status and trends than either would alone.
