Dieffenbach F. 2018. Data quality standards for Appalachian National Scenic Trail forest health monitoring protocol. Natural Resource Report. NPS/NETN/NRR—2018/1805. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado
The purpose of this report is to document the standards used by the Northeast Temperate Network (NETN) for activities related to the collection, processing, storage, analysis, and publication of monitoring data as described in the Appalachian National Scenic Trail Forest Health Monitoring Protocol (Dieffenbach 2018). The policies and procedures documented in this quality-assurance plan for activities complement the quality-assurance plans for other monitoring activities conducted by the NETN and supplement National Inventory & Monitoring Division Quality Management Plan (DeVivo in review). The plan also serves as a guide for all NETN personnel who are involved in protocol/program activities and as a resource for identifying memoranda, publications, and other literature that describe associated techniques and requirements in more detail.
