Southern Plains Inventory and Monitoring Network. 2008. Southern Plains Network Vital Signs Monitoring Plan. Natural Resource Report. NPS/SOPN/NRR—2008/028. National Park Service. Las Vegas, NM
This Monitoring Plan (Phase III Report) for the SOPN is the third phase of a three phase development process and includes updated material from the Phase I and II documents. The Phase II Vital Signs Monitoring Report included: 1) monitoring goals and the planning process used to develop the monitoring program; 2) summaries of existing information concerning park natural resources and resource management issues across the network; 3) a conceptual model framework for SOPN park ecosystems; and 4) descriptions of the prioritization and selection processes for vital signs. This report adds to those previous efforts and describes our plan for implementing long-term monitoring of natural resources in the network parks.
