Great Smoky Mountains National Park Long-Term Forest and Soils Monitoring Protocol
Evans T. 2024. Great Smoky Mountains National Park Long-Term Forest and Soils Monitoring Protocol. National Park Service
These holdings (Protocol, SOPs, and related documents) are working drafts for the GRSM Vital Signs program. Vegetation Communities and Soil Quality are two of the current six Vital Signs for GRSM, and this protocol covers the monitoring of these, with the restriction of forested vegetation only. Protocols are working through internal reviews and so are currently only in draft form.
