Smith SB and Sarr D. 2013. Monitoring vegetation composition, structure, and function in Whiskeytown National Recreation Area and Lassen Volcanic National Park: Fiscal year 2012 annual report. Natural Resource Data Series. NPS/KLMN/NRDS—2014/628. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado
This report describes the results of the second year of implementing the Klamath Network’s Vegetation Monitoring Protocol. At Whiskeytown National Recreation Area we monumented and read 21 matrix, 15 riparian, and 10 high elevation plots. At Lassen Volcanic National Park we monumented and read 18 matrix and 14 riparian, and 10 high elevation sites. 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 Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
