Exclosure Sampling Methodology in Morristown National Historical Park: For Exclosures Established Between 1987 and 1995, Adapted from Previous Standard Operating Procedures, and Updated for Current Conditions
Epiphan JN and Handel S. 2020. Exclosure Sampling Methodology in Morristown National Historical Park: For Exclosures Established Between 1987 and 1995, Adapted from Previous Standard Operating Procedures, and Updated for Current Conditions. National Park Service
The purpose of this document is to provide clear sampling methodology for the three sets of deer exclosures installed between 1987 and 1995 throughout Morristown National Historical Park (MORR). It provides specific directions for navigation to each exclosure location and specific sampling methodology. This will allow each exclosure area to be assessed in the same manner as previous years, which is necessary for successful long-term data collection and precise analyses. These methods may also be useful for similar sampling studies in other regional NPS properties, so that the fate of different landscapes can be better compared.
