Smith SB and Sarr D. 2014. Klamath Network invasive species early detection monitoring protocol annual report for the 2013 field season- sampling at Lava Beds NM, Oregon Caves NM, and Whiskeytown NRA.

The Klamath Inventory and Monitoring network implemented its Invasive Species Early Detection Protocol from May to June and then August and September 2013. This was the third season the protocol has been implemented. During the field season, crews visited three parks in the Klamath Network: Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, Lava Beds National Monument, and Oregon Caves National Monument. The crew monitored 42 road and trail segments, covering a total of 83 km. The sample effort fell short of our pre-season goals, due to difficulties in hiring field crews. We observed a total of 38 separate infestations of nine priority invasive species and collected site-specific data at 28 of these infestations.
