In 2009, the authors initiated a small pilot survey of six limber
pine stands in CRMO following the Interagency Whitebark Pine
Monitoring Protocol for the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (Greater
Yellowstone Whitebark Pine Monitoring Working Group hereafter
referred to as GYWPMWG] 2007). No blister rust was found during
that survey, although mountain pine beetle galleries were found in
several trees, and dwarf mistletoe was ubiquitous. In 2010 the
authors tested a draft version of the protocol currently being used
by the Upper Columbia Basin Network (UCBN), as well as the Klamath
Network (KLMN) and Sierra Nevada Network (SIEN; McKinney et al.
2012). In 2011 the authors implemented the first full panel of 30
plots, plus two oversamples, following approval of the McKinney et
al. (2012) protocol. Results from 2011 are reported in Stucki and
Rodhouse (2012). This report presents the results for the second
full panel of 30 plots established and surveyed in August 2012.
Note that panel 2 includes the two oversample plots that were
established in 2011. This is the second formal year of protocol
implementation, and the permanent plots established in 2012
represent the second of 3 panels of plots that will be monitored
into the future.
As part of the Upper Columbia Basin Network sagebrush steppe vital
signs monitoring program, a survey of sagebrush steppe ecological
condition was conducted in late May and early June 2012 Hagerman
Fossil Beds National Monument following methods outlined in the
Upper Columbia Basin Network monitoring protocol (Yeo et al. 2009).
The plot-based surveys occurred within 5 sampling frames that are
positioned along the Oregon Trail, the tops of benches, and along
the bottomland adjacent to the Snake River. Much of the uplands of
the park are inaccessible, consisting of steep and highly unstable
unvegetated escarpments.
This report summarizes the data collected in 2012 for City of Rocks
National Reserve and Castle Rocks State Park. Both units are
co-managed by the National Park Service and Idaho State Parks and
Recreation. Throughout the rest of the report we refer to both
units together as the Reserve and by acronym as CIRO.

(KLMN) and Sierra Nevada Network (SIEN; McKinney et al. in
revision). The results reported in this report were generated in
2011 with data collected following an updated protocol by McKinney
et al. (in revision). This is the first formal year of protocol
implementation, and the permanent plots established in 2011
represent the first of 3 "panels" of plots that will be monitored
into the future.
