Vegetation Monitoring

The Water Department conducted its ongoing program of vegetation monitoring during 2008. This program includes the line-point reinventory of vegetation conditions throughout Owens Valley, point-frame measurements at permanent monitoring sites, and recruitment at the permanent monitoring sites. With the retirement of our long-time vegetation scientist, Dr. Sally Manning, we have not yet distilled 2008’s measurements into report form, however, here are links to the line-point reinventory data up to 2007: (csv / pdf). We are currently in the process of hiring additional personnel to fill the void left by Sally’s retirement, and hope to get our vegetation monitoring data up to date soon.
