Numerous studies have shown that invasive non-native plants are the biggest threat to biological diversity, are a threat to habitat de-struction, and aff ect the value of many pub-lic and privately owned lands (D'Antonio et al. 2004; Vanderhoof et al. 2009). National parks, established in part to preserve native plants and animals, are seeing native plant presence decrease as the number of inva-sive species increases at the rate of nearly two hectares per day (Crimmins et al. 2008).

ISBN: 9781492944683 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The National Capital Region Network has identified amphibians as a priority taxonomic group for its Inventory and Monitoring program. The goals of this program are to document at least 90% of the amphibian species in its parks, and to determine whether the integrity and status of amphibian populations are changing over time. As of 2004, all of the parks had completed amphibian inventories (Shawn Carter, National Park Service, personal communication), and planning for monitoring efforts were initiated. The objectives of the monitoring program are to develop an efficient long-term sampling...

The Debt Limit Since 2011
ISBN: 9781503177154 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 26 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Constitution grants Congress the power to borrow money on the credit of the United States-one part of its power of the purse-and thus mandates that Congress exercise control over federal debt.

The accumulation of federal debt accelerated in the wake of the 2007-2008 financial crisis and subsequent recession. Rising debt levels, along with continued differences in views of fiscal policy, led to a...

Invasive Species Early Detection Monitoring Protocol for Klamath Network Parks
ISBN: 9781492169871 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Non-native, invasive species are a paramount concern in virtually all natural areas and, not surprisingly, ranked as the top vital sign for monitoring within the Klamath Network. Impacts of invasives threaten the core goals of the National Park Service. Invasive species are second only to habitat loss as a threat to native biodiversity (Wilcove et al. 1998). Impacts from invasives that can severely degrade native ecosystems include the replacement of native vegetation (Tilman 1999), the loss of rare species (King 1985), changes in ecosystem structure (Mack and D'Antonio 1998), alteration of...
