Summary
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to analyze, synthesize, and interpret the latest aquatic monitoring data to quantify management-related changes in in-stream and upslope indicators of instream and watershed condition within the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) area. This project will use the best available science and reproducible analytical methods to evaluate long-term trends, identify ecological thresholds, and support adaptive management.
Project activities will be conducted in collaboration with interagency Northwest Forest Plan partners and be focused on long-term monitoring data collected and curated by the NWFP's Aquatic and Riparian Effectiveness Monitoring Program (AREMP). The project will build on the foundation of data and analytical methods developed in the interagency 25-year report on watershed condition status and trends.
