Rocky Mountain National Park Wetlands Ecological Integrity (WEI) 2007-2017 data series report products and data package

Schweiger B. Rocky Mountain National Park Wetlands Ecological Integrity (WEI) 2007-2017 data series report products and data package. 2007-2017

Project contains the products and data used in the Rocky Mountain National Park Ecological Integrity (WEI) data series report (2007 - 2017). Generalized WEI objectives include the following: 1. Determine the status in wetland areal extent using survey site extent data and park-scale map or imagery data. 2. Determine status in a suite of response measures: a.) Vegetation composition, including bioassessment modeling b.) Groundwater hydrology (more detailed and continuously logged at most sentinel sites) c.) Soil chemistry (more detailed at sentinel sites) d.) In situ water chemistry e.) Anthropogenic and natural disturbances 3. Determine the long-term trend in the condition of select wetland responses. 4. Assess status of select responses through: a.) Comparisons to existing and published assessment points, including any regulatory criteria (rare for wetlands), ecological thresholds or ecoregion assessment points that are relevant to ROMN park wetlands and their management b.) Comparisons to ecoregion assessment points derived from distributions of reference site data from within the park or surrounding ecoregion(s) c.) Comparisons to baselines derived from partner or auxiliary data 5. Relate any spatial or temporal patterns (including trend when possible) in select wetland responses to important ecological and anthropogenic drivers.
