Carr WR. 2004. A Botanical Inventory of San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, Parts I and II: Results of a 2001-2002 Botanical Inventory and Related Research and Reviews.
The National Park Service (NPS) Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) Program seeks to obtain baseline inventories of biotic and abiotic natural resource elements represented within each National Park Service unit. The inventories have 12 components and include such features as occurrence and distribution of vertebrate and invertebrate animals, soils, hydrology, and geology. Padre Island National Seashore (PAIS), Palo Alto Battlefield National Historic Site (PAAL), and San Antonio Missions National Historical Park (SAAN) are all included as part of the Gulf Coast Inventory and Monitoring Network (GCN). Under a cooperative agreement, the NPS has contracted the Texas Conservation Data Center (TxCDC) of The Nature Conservancy to conduct a comprehensive vascular plant species inventory for SAAN, and baseline herpetofaunal inventories for PAIS, PAAL, and SAAN. Two sections of this report address the plant inventory at SAAN, and a separate report addresses the herpetofaunal inventories.
