Starkey E. 2013. Upper Columbia Basin Network stream channel characteristics and riparian condition annual report 2012: Big Hole National Battlefield (BIHO). Natural Resource Data Series. NPS/UCBN/NRDS—2013/574. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado
Data from the 2012 field sampling effort was collected following methods detailed in the UCBN stream channel characteristics and riparian condition monitoring protocols (Starkey et al. 2011a, Starkey et al. 2011b) and the United States Forest Service- PACFISH/INFISH Biological Opinion (PIBO) peer reviewed protocols (Heitke et al. 2009, Leary and Ebertowski 2010). This annual report details the status of key stream channel characteristics and riparian attributes obtained from the first season of monitoring on the North Fork Big Hole River within Big Hole National Battlefield (BIHO). This report is intended as a release of basic data sets and data summaries. Care has been taken to assure accuracy of raw data values, but thorough analysis and interpretation of the data has not been completed. More extensive analysis and discussion of stream channel characteristics and riparian will occur as part of the trend analysis, which will be available after 3 years of monitoring data become available.
