Botanical baseline monitoring in research natural areas in Oregon and Washington
With human impacts on more and more of the landscape, long-term, high-quality monitoring programs in natural ecosystems are increasingly important. Establishment of botanical monitoring systems in research natural areas in Oregon and Washington is providing baseline data used for (1) testing ecological hypotheses. (2) judging the effects of management activities on similar ecosystems. (3) understanding basic ecosystem processes, and (4) providing data on flora and fauna. Botanical monitoring systems need to be established and carefully referenced, with procedures rigidly defined.
