Northern Colorado Plateau Network Springs, Seeps, and Hanging Garden Community Monitoring
Weissinger R. Northern Colorado Plateau Network Springs, Seeps, and Hanging Garden Community Monitoring. 2007. National Park Service
Springs, seeps, and hanging gardens provide essential water, food resources, and wildlife habitat, and are important oases of biodiversity and productivity in desert landscapes. Because of their inherent fragility, spring and seep ecosystems are sensitive to a variety of human activities that have reduced the ecological integrity of these ecosystems through recreation, groundwater diversion, and livestock grazing. Monitoring spring and seep ecosystems will enable a more thorough understanding of the impacts of human activities and climate change on these ecosystems.
