Description
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 within the Clarno Unit of John Day Fossil Beds National Monument (JODA) following methods outlined in the Upper Columbia Basin Network monitoring protocol (Yeo et al. 2009). The plot-based surveys occurred within 3 habitat categories (strata) of vegetation communities.
