A watershed analysis, as applied on the Monongahela National Forest (MNF), is a procedure to identify the interactions, processes, and functions of resources such as water, soils, plants, trees, animals, and human influence on a watershed scale. Knowing and better understanding these relationships will help us set priorities for social, economic and ecological needs when planning future activities in the area. It will also help us to better determine the effects of our management. The watershed scale was chosen because it is a well-defined land area having unique features, and it allows us to analyze the interrelationships of various resources in an entire watershed. The findings within this document serve as a foundation to develop site-specific project proposals, associated effects analysis, and decision documents.
