SCPN Riparian Monitoring: Standard Operating Procedure #9: Data Analysis and Reporting
Southern Colorado Plateau Network. 2018. SCPN Riparian Monitoring: Standard Operating Procedure #9: Data Analysis and Reporting. SCPN
This SOP provides an overview of analysis and reporting procedures. After raw data from the field season are quality checked, they are then summarized to the reach level. Additional QAQC is performed comparing these data to previously collected data to catch misidentified species and values that represent unlikely amounts of change between years. Once data quality issues are resolved, analyses can be conducted. Two general types of analyses are performed: 1) summary reporting of the most recent monitoring observations (summary reports and annual briefs), and 2) comprehensive assessments of the long term data set (assessment of the overall sampling design, evaluation of status and trends, and correlations with other vital signs). 1.0 Data
