Chapter 10. Developing a habitat monitoring program: three examples from national forest planning

Abstract

This chapter reviews the process steps of wildlife habitat monitoring described in chapters 2 through 9 and provides three case examples that illustrate how the process steps apply to specific situations. It provides the reader an opportunity to synthesize the material while also revealing the potential knowledge gaps and pitfalls that may complicate completion of a comprehensive habitat monitoring program. The chapter strives to clarify questions the reader may have by demonstrating the process of developing a habitat monitoring plan.
