In accordance with guidelines set forth by the National Park Service Inventory & Monitoring Division, a quality-assurance plan has been created for use by the Northeast Temperate Network in the implementation of the Permanent Freshwater Wetland Monitoring Protocol (Miller et al. 2021). This QAP documents the standards, policies, and procedures used by the Northeast Temperate Network for activities related to the collection, processing, storage, analysis, and publication of monitoring data. This QAP was largely adapted and greatly benefited from the Eastern Rivers and Mountains QAP for Vegetation Monitoring (Perles et. al 2018). The policies and procedures documented in this QAP are consistent with the quality assurance plans for other monitoring activities conducted by the Northeast Temperate Network and supplement National Inventory & Monitoring Division Quality Management Plan (DeVivo in preparation).
