Opis

This report presents the conceptual ecological models describing the structure and function of terrestrial ecosystems for park units in the Eastern Rivers and Mountains Network (ERMN, see Table 1). These models have been developed to support the National Park Service's (NPS) Inventory and Monitoring Program (I&M Program) in this region, and in particular, to complement the identification of "vital signs" that will be used in long-term monitoring of park resources.
