Southern Colorado Plateau Network Springs Monitoring
Perkins DW. Southern Colorado Plateau Network Springs Monitoring. 2018. National Park Service
The goal of the SCPN springs monitoring program is to determine long-term trends in hydrologic and vegetation dynamics in spring ecosystems. In particular, we want to know how these trends change in the face of changes in ecological drivers, stressors, and processes. Currently, thresholds for change in spring ecosystems on the Colorado Plateau are unknown.
