Book Description
Plant community monitoring at George Washington Carver National Monument of America (GWCA) is designed to detect and describe changes in the prairie community. This is accomplished by quantifying species composition, structure, and diversity of the prairie community. Restoration of the prairie is a focus of natural resource management at GWCA.

Integrated Vegetation Management Recommendations for George Washington Carver National Monument

Pages : 213
Book Description
George Washington Carver National Monument (GWCA) is a 97 ha historic site in southwest Missouri. Park managers are responsible for management of more than 90 ha of grassland and woodland. There have been several efforts to develop a long-term monitoring program to support cultural and historical interpretation programs at GWCA. My study is a cooperative project to develop Integrated Vegetation Management Recommendations (IVMR) for GWCA that includes input from multiple agencies and stakeholders. Park staff will use three alternatives as a guide for monitoring and management. A key aspect of the plan is the use of Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) models and presence/absence surveys for four prairie indicator species (Henslow's sparrow, ornate box turtle, northern bobwhite quail, and prairie vole) to evaluate 53 314-m2 circular plots for existing prairie structure. In 2009 and 2010 I found there were areas of mixed quality across the prairie units, and management recommendations were provided to GWCA to address limiting habitat characteristics (scores

Plant Community Composition and Structure Monitoring for Scotts Bluffs National Monument

Pages : 28
Book Description
Scotts Bluff National Monument (SCBL) plays a vital role in protecting and managing some of the last remnants of native mixed-grass prairie in the region. The Northern Great Plains Inventory & Monitoring Network (NGPN) surveyed 8 long-term monitoring plots in Scotts Bluff National Monument in 2012 as part of an effort to better understand the condition of plant communities in the park. We measured plant diversity and cover, estimated tree and shrub density, looked for the presence of exotic species that are of concern to park management, and evaluated the amount of human and natural disturbance at all plots. This effort was the second year in a multiple-year venture to document the current status and long-term trends in plant communities in SCBL. At the end of five years, there will be an in-depth report describing the status of the plant community. In 2013, we will also revisit legacy plots that were established as part of the Prairie Cluster prototype monitoring. In this report, we provide a simple summary of our results from sampling in 2012.

Families Caring for an Aging America
Author: National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309448093
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 367
Book Description
Family caregiving affects millions of Americans every day, in all walks of life. At least 17.7 million individuals in the United States are caregivers of an older adult with a health or functional limitation. The nation's family caregivers provide the lion's share of long-term care for our older adult population. They are also central to older adults' access to and receipt of health care and community-based social services. Yet the need to recognize and support caregivers is among the least appreciated challenges facing the aging U.S. population. Families Caring for an Aging America examines the prevalence and nature of family caregiving of older adults and the available evidence on the effectiveness of programs, supports, and other interventions designed to support family caregivers. This report also assesses and recommends policies to address the needs of family caregivers and to minimize the barriers that they encounter in trying to meet the needs of older adults.
