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. The
I&M Program's Heartland Network (HTLN) recently completed
inventories of vertebrate species and vascular plants at Pea Ridge
National Military Park (PERI). 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.
The I&M Program's Heartland Network (HTLN) recently completed
inventories of vertebrate species and vascular plants at Wilson's
Creek National Battlefield (WICR). 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

Aquatic invertebrates are an important biomonitoring tool for
understanding and detecting changes in ecosystem integrity over
time. Therefore, the monitoring objectives of this protocol as
described by DeBacker et al. (2005) are: 1) Determine the status
and trends of invertebrate species diversity, abundance, and
community metrics. 2) Relate invertebrate community to overall
water quality through quantification of metrics related to species
richness, abundance, diversity, and region-specific multi-metric
indices as indicators of water quality and habitat condition.
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.

The I&M Program's Heartland Network (HTLN) recently completed
inventories of vertebrate species and vascular plants at Tallgrass
Prairie National Preserve (TAPR). 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 this efforts was to document at least 90% of the vertebrate and
vascular plant species believed to occur in the park. This report

The I&M Program's Heartland Network (HTLN) recently completed
inventories of vertebrate species and vascular plants at Pipestone
National Monument (PIPE). 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
