Plant Community Monitoring Baseline Report, George Washington Carver National Monument
James KM and Rowell GA. 2009. Plant Community Monitoring Baseline Report, George Washington Carver National Monument. Natural Resource Technical Report. NPS/HTLN/NRTR—2009/190. National Park Service. Fort Collins,
This report defines the baseline range of conditions for Heartland Inventory and Monitoring Network (HTLN) monitoring sites. Here “baseline” refers to the sample period of 2004-2008 in which monitoring data were collected to determine the amount of existing natural variability in the restored prairie. Defining a baseline range assumes no directional change for a condition between sample events. All monitoring data were analyzed for the presence of any significant change during the sample period. Once a baseline range has been established, future monitoring data will be analyzed for any significant departures from the baseline.
