Standard Operating Procedure 16: Reporting
Leis SA, DeBacker MD, Morrison LW, Rowell GA, Haack JL. 2022. Standard Operating Procedure 16: Reporting. HTLN
Communication of long-term data helps to shape summary and analysis of that data. This SOP describes the types of plant community reporting the network intends to do and the standard elements or metrics that will be included. Report writing will be done by the Plant Ecologist with support from members of the HTLN terrestrial team including the Quantitative Ecologist as needed. The audience for reports includes natural resource managers, superintendents, HTLN staff, NPS program managers, and the public, particularly, external scientists and partners. Reporting is based on data collected using the data collection SOPs and summary and analysis detailed in SOP 15-Data Summary and Analysis. Data elements not included in the SOPs may include externally sourced data that can be used with confidence such as precipitation data provided by national data centers, or data from other HTLN protocols.
