As part of the National Park Service's effort to "improve park
management through greater reliance on scientific knowledge," a
primary role of the Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) Program is
to collect, organize, and make available natural resource data. A
list of species known to occur in NPS units is considered a basic
inventory need (see: http:
//science.nature.nps.gov/im/inventory/index.cfm). The I&M
Program's Heartland Network (HTLN) recently completed inventories
of vertebrate species and vascular plants at Effigy Mounds National
Monument (EFMO). In doing so, all existing data were cataloged,
targeted field investigations were conducted, and species lists
were certified by taxonomic experts. The primary goal of these
efforts was to document at least 90% of the vertebrate and vascular
plant species believed to occur in the park. This report provides a
summary of results.
