The National Park Service has implemented vital signs monitoring in 32 networks across the country to address physical resources and processes, biological attributes, and ecological processes. Five networks are located in the northeast, the Eastern Rivers and Mountains Network, Mid-Atlantic Network, National Capital Region Network, Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network, and Northeast Temperate Network. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail traverses most of the networks.
