2009 Project Deliverables for the KLMN Invasive Species Early Detection Monitoring Protocol

The Klamath I&M program implemented its Invasive Species Early Detection Protocol for its first full season from April to September 2009. During the season, a two person crew visited all six parks in the Klamath Network, beginning in Whiskeytown NRA and concluding in Redwood NSP. The crew monitored 170 road and trail segments for a total of 395 km. The sample effort matched or exceeded expectations. We observed a total of 225 separate infestations of 26 invasive species, and collected site-specific data at 152 of these infestations. Invasive species infestations tended to occur within 6 m of a road or trail, in areas with less overstory cover, and more often along roads than trails. This represents the first quantitative sample of all six parks in the Network using a repeatable, peer-reviewed methodology at comparable intensities.
