| abstract | The goal of the HE Monitoring Program is to generate baseline data on high elevation ecosystems that are data deficient and establish sustainable long-term monitoring. Baseline data enables us to understand how high elevation ecosystems are currently functioning. Long-term monitoring will enable us to understand how these sensitive areas are responding to climate change over time. Water quality and quantity – vital for a functioning ecosystem – are the primary variables being measured and analyzed. The data will help guide science-based management decisions, and support ecosystems and communities as they adapt to a changing climate and hydrological regime. |
