This grant from the National Park Service aims to develop statistical analyses for long-term trends in upland vegetation and soils monitoring within five Intermountain Region Inventory and Monitoring Networks. The project involves a review of network protocols, spatial/temporal designs, and sample datasets to select network-specific statistical analyses. The results will be published to contribute to Conservation Science Partners’ research programs, enhancing understanding of upland ecosystems in protected areas. Deadline for applications is August 6, 2016.

Additional Information
| Agency Name: | National Park Service |
| Description: | National Park Service Inventory and Monitoring Networks are charged with implementing a long-term ecological monitoring program to assess status and trends in the condition of natural resources across NPS units. Each of these five Intermountain Region I&M networks has developed a monitoring protocol for upland vegetation and soils, although the sampling designs, monitoring methods, and specific objectives differ somewhat from network to network. This project will develop and conduct statistical analyses to examine long-term trends of complex survey designs in upland monitoring for 5 I&M networks. This will be done by conducting a comprehensive review of network protocols, spatial/temporal designs, sample datasets. After this review has been completed the project will select network specific statistical analyses. The results will be jointly written and published in a report in the NPS Natural Resource Report Series or a peer-reviewed journal. This knowledge gained by 5-10 years of upland monitoring in National Park units across the west will provide Conservation Science Partners with new region wide information in protected areas that they can add to their research programs. By jointly researching, conducting analyses, writing and publishing findings the National Park Service and Conservation Science Partners will engage each other and the results will result in new knowledge and understanding upland ecosystems in protected areas. |
