Gene Conservation, Restoration, and Proactive Deployment of Red Spruce in Light of Climate Change - in Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Field Methods:
Great Smoky Mountains National Park has red spruce populations over a wide range of elevations. We were unable to find female cones on red spruce near the top of Clingman’s Dome at ~2000 m, but have located cone bearing trees from 910 m to 1865 m. We propose collect cones from three populations: 1) trail from Clingman’s Dome parking lot to Andrews Bald, 2) Road Prong trail, and 3) Balsam Mountain road. If permissible, we would also like to collect cones from turn-outs or along roads in the park where it may be done safely without interfering with traffic or having personnel on the road.

Where possible we would use pole pruners to remove 1 to 3 clusters of cones with the goal of getting at least 20 cones from 10-15 trees in each of the populations noted on Figures 2 and 3. For cones on higher branches 25-50’, we would throw a line over a cone bearing branch using a slingshot and either shake cones down on to a tarp or use specialized, manual pull saw attached to a rope to cut the end off of a cone bearing branch. We have experience with this method and have collected from over one hundred trees in the last year using this approach.

Humboldt Marten Inventory at Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park and Southern Redwood National Park - Open Format Dataset

In 2019, the North Coast Redwoods District of California State Parks began to implement the Humboldt marten population inventory and monitoring protocol (Slauson and Moriarty 2014) in the Redwood National and State Parks (RNSP) complex with the goal on conducting a complete survey of all park units in the complex within 4 years. In 2019, Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park and the National Park units adjacent to it were surveyed and Humboldt martens were detected at only one of 36 survey units (Slauson 2021). This single detection occurred on the eastern edge of the park in serpentine forest habitat. In 2020, Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park and the adjacent portions of Redwood National Park were surveyed and martens were detected at 12 (31%) of 39 surveys units (Slauson 2021). In 2021, surveys were conducted in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park and in 2022, the final portion of Redwood National Park which included most of the Redwood Creek watershed in the southern end of the Park was surveyed. This report covers the final two years (2021 and 2022) of survey efforts needed to complete the first systematic survey inventory of martens and their predators across all the park units in the RNSP complex.

Acadia National Park Herpetological Inventory 2001 - Data Package

Under a National Park Service/Wildlife Conservation Society Cooperative Agreement, an inventory of amphibians and reptiles at Acadia National Park (ACAD) in Maine was conducted from March through September 2001.  Seven standardized sampling methods were employed; anuran call counts, egg-mass counts, time-constrained search, coverboards, turtle trapping, minnow trapping, and drift fence arrays.  In addition, animals encountered outside of standardized surveys (temporally or spatially) were recorded as incidental encounters. Eighteen species were documented including six frog/toad, five salamander, two turtle, and five snake species. These species represent 82% of the species believed to have occurred historically in the park.

Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks Herpetological Inventory 2000-2003- Public Data Package

Supported by the U.S. Geological Survey and the National Park Service Inventory and Monitoring program an amphibian and reptile inventory was conducted in Grand Teton (GRTE) and Yellowstone (YELL) National Parks from 2000-2003. The work consisted of surveying more than 150 sites in 13 catchments in GRTE and 466 sites in 19 catchments in YELL. The project had three main components: systematic surveys, targeted species surveys, and apex monitoring at a long-term study area. The project provided the first systematically collected amphibian occurrence data for the two parks and included remote areas where amphibians had not previously been documented. The study resulted in an updated list of herpetofauna in the parks, species distribution data, and amphibian disease information. Both ranavirus and chytrid fungal disease were present in amphibian populations in YELL.

Target species list for the 2021 Cuyahoga Valley National Park rare plant inventory

The list of plants designated as rare for the 2021 rare plant inventory of the 2021 Cuyahoga Valley National Park included 169 total species (45 state listed and 124 regionally rare/species of special interest. The rare plant list was developed from a collaboration with National Park Service, Summit County Metro Parks, and Cleaveland Metro Parks biologists and goes beyond state listed species as recommended by local and regional botanists. The National Park Service will critically evaluate the official “active list” for long-term monitoring and management.

SCPN Habitat-based bird community monitoring data 2007-2018

This data package includes data that were collected from 2007-2018 as part of the Southern Colorado Plateau Network's habitat-based bird community monitoring protocol. Data were collected at eight ecological sites, representing homogenous habitat and soil types, at six national park service units (BAND, CACH, GRCA, MEVE, PEFO, WUPA). Data was collected in four overall habitat types: grassland-shrubland, riparian woodland, pinyon-juniper woodland, and mixed-conifer forest. The data set contains habitat-specific repeat visit bird survey data collected every three years at each park using point counts with distance sampling. Covariates influencing species detectability were collected during each survey, including percentage cloud cover, wind speed, precipitation, environmental noise, and survey time and date. In addition, microhabitat data was collected in each survey year at each point count station, including plotless measures of tree basal area by species and snag basal area, percentage canopy cover, sapling density, and categorical measures of foliage cover and foliage height in six different vegetation strata (herbaceous, dwarf shrub, shrub, sub-canopy, canopy, and emergent).

Streams Ecological Integrity (SEI) Macroinvertebrates Data for the Rocky Mountain Network (ROMN): 2007-2022 –  Data Package

Streams Ecological Integrity (SEI) Macroinvertebrate data package at Glacier National Park, Grant-Kohrs Ranch Historical Site, Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument and Rocky Mountain National Park 2007-2022. The macroinvertebrate data package contains two datasets: 1) all macroinvertebrate data across all sites and events, 2) the site and event data for all sampling events in this study.

Macroinvertebrate, or benthos, data is collected by the Rocky Mountain Network (ROMN) for long term monitoring at streams monitoring sites. Macroinvertebrate data is one monitoring component within the Streams Ecological Integrity monitoring protocol. The general objectives of SEI monitoring are to document the status and long-term trends in ecological condition of streams and rivers in a park, and to use this information to help understand why stream conditions may have changed. Resource managers may, in turn, use information from SEI monitoring to make resource management decisions within their parks.
