Monitoring vegetation composition, structure, and function in Lava Beds National Monument and Redwood National and State Parks: Fiscal year 2011 annual report
Smith SB and Sarr D. 2013. Monitoring vegetation composition, structure, and function in Lava Beds National Monument and Redwood National and State Parks: Fiscal year 2011 annual report. Natural Resource Data Series. NPS/KLMN/NRDS—2013/447. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado
This report describes the results of the first year of implementing the Klamath Network’s Vegetation Monitoring Protocol. At Lava Beds NM we accomplished our goal of monumenting and reading 30 matrix plots. At Redwood NSP, we monumented and read 26 matrix and 21 riparian sites, falling short of our 40 matrix and 30 riparian site goal. Data from these plots are summarized below in a format that provides a template for future annual vegetation monitoring reports. Some minor changes to the protocol have been made at the request of park staff and due to some unexpected situations that occurred, not specifically addressed in the original SOPs.
