Trend Analysis Assessment for Bird Monitoring: Literature Review and Data Analysis to Support Southern Colorado Plateau Network Bird Monitoring

As part of the Southern Colorado Plateau Networkâ¿¿s (SCPN's) Vital Signs monitoring program, this project contributes to understanding the current status of bird communities in targeted ecosystems and tracking trends in their condition through time, bird communities in targeted ecosystems and to communicate monitoring results to a broad audience of park managers, partners and the general public. Through this collaboration, NPS and NAU will contribute to describing regional ecological integrity and furthering scientific understanding of the current conditions of natural resources, which often serve as reference conditions when evaluating the condition of lands that are more impacted by human use. Results from this project will be publicly available through the SCPN website.
