Evaluation of the Sensitivity of Inventory and Monitoring National Parks to Nutrient Enrichment Effects from Atmospheric Nitrogen Deposition: Pacific ... Resource Report Nps / Nrpc / Ard / Nrr?2011/323) National Park Service

The Pacific Island Network (PACN)includes islands at diverse locations in the Pacific Ocean (Map PACN-1). It includes the Hawaiian Islands, northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and American Samoa. There are nine parks in the Pacific Island Network. Only one is larger than 100 square miles: Hawaii Volcanoes (HAVO), which is located on the island of Hawaii. The authors of this work evaluate and detail their findings regarding nutrient enrichment effect from atmospheric nitrogen depositions in the PACN.
