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.
