The GMAP Long Term Monitoring Transects are the transects used to evaluate various indicators of non-wetland grassland (xeric tallgrass prairie, mixedgrass prairie mosiac, and mesic bluestem prairie) condition. There are 96 transects in mixedgrass prairie habitat, 44 transects in xeric tallgrass prairie, and 20 transects in mesic bluestem prairie for a total of 160 transects. The transect locations were established using a GRTS sampling design run in the statistical software package R. We used a stratified sampling design (stratified by habitat/target type - xeric tallgrass prairie, mixedgrass prairie mosiac, and mesic bluestem prairie) and transects were assigned by the GRTS process to one of four panels. The GRTS sampling design provides randomly selected, spatially balanced transect locations to ensure coverage of the entire study area. OSMP's long term vegetation transects are monitoring on the following schedule: in years one and two all four panels are monitored; in years three through seven each of the four panels is monitored once during that four year period; then in years eight and nine all four panels are monitored again; and so forth. More details about the sampling design, monitoring schedule and monitoring objectives can be found in the project protocol. 2009-present.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "The data set was developed to monitor the condition of the non-wetland (upland) grassland vegetation", "title": "GMAP Monitoring Plots", "tags": [ "Boulder", "OSMP", "Open Space and Mountain Parks" ], "type": "", "typeKeywords": [], "thumbnail": "", "url": "", "minScale": 500000, "maxScale": 5000, "spatialReference": "", "accessInformation": "City of Boulder, Open Space and Mountain Parks", "licenseInfo": "
