The National Park Service’s mission is to protect and preserve natural resources for present and future generations. In the Southeastern U.S., treasured resources in parks include time-worn mountains, white sand beaches, and several biodiversity hotspots. Protecting these resources requires careful, ongoing science. This series describes how long-term vegetation monitoring data are collected and used to guide management decisions so that parks and surrounding communities continue to thrive.
