Kozar K, Ainsworth A, Gross J. 2017. Data quality standards for early detection of invasive plant species in the Pacific Island Network. Natural Resource Report. NPS/PACN/NRR—2017/1543. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado
The purpose of this report is to document the standards, used by the Pacific Island Network (PACN) for activities related to the collection, processing, storage, analysis, and publication of data as described in the Early Detection of Invasive Plant Species Monitoring Plan (Ainsworth et al. 2017). The policies and procedures documented in this data quality standards plan for activities complement the quality-assurance plans for other monitoring activities conducted by the PACN and supplement the National Inventory & Monitoring Division Quality Management Plan. The plan also serves as a guide for all PACN personnel who are involved in program activities and as a resource for identifying memoranda, publications, and other literature that describe associated techniques and requirements in more detail.
