The Central Alaska Network Vital Signs Monitoring Plan
MacCluskie M, Oakley K, MacDonald T, Wilder D. 2005. The Central Alaska Network Vital Signs Monitoring Plan. Fairbanks, Alaska
This document concerns three national parks in central Alaska: Denali National Park and Preserve, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, and Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve. Together these parks form the Central Alaska Network (CAKN), which has been created for the purpose of establishing and carrying out an ecological inventory and monitoring program. Development of monitoring programs to be carried out over long periods of time requires a significant investment in strategic planning over several years. Establishment of the monitoring portion of the CAKN program has been directed by national-level guidance and culminates in the publication of a peer-reviewed monitoring plan. The monitoring plan for each network is to be written in three phases, corresponding to three phases of program development, over a period of roughly three to four years.
