An Evaluation of Methods for Long-Term Monitoring of Vegetation on National Historic Sites in the Mid-Atlantic Region
Abrams MD. 1988. An Evaluation of Methods for Long-Term Monitoring of Vegetation on National Historic Sites in the Mid-Atlantic Region. University Park, PA
For this consulting contract with the Mid-Atlantic Region of the National Park Service I was to complete the following activities: A. Critically review the manual developed by Dr. E. W. B. Russell dealing with parmanenet plots for monitoring vegetation. B. Meet with Dr. Russell and Dr. Jeffrey Marion, NPS Research Biologist to discuss a region-wide system for monitoring vegetation, with special emphasis on the type of information and methods for a "core" data set to be collected at each park. C. Make suggestions for revising the vegetation monitoring system at the Friendship Hill site, where a cooperative agreement exists with the National Park Service. This final report includes a review of the permanent plot manual, an overview of discussions with Drs. Marion and Russell, which took place on 9 September, 1988 at the Delaware Water Gap, and my recommendation for the specific changes to be made in the sampling regime at Friendship Hill.
