Objective:
To develop a cost-effective, sustainable, statistically based monitoring program that is sensitive to fundamental changes in ecosystem structure and function through an adaptive research process.

Approach:
The objective will be addressed through the completion of three basic modules: 1) Develop data-based ecological site stratification system and refine existing State-and-Transition models. 2) Evaluate potential integration of high resolution aerial photography into monitoring system. 3) Complete monitoring program design.
