Upper Columbia Basin Network Stream Channel Characteristics and Riparian Condition Annual Report 2011: Nez Perce National Historical Park (Nepe): Natural Resource Data Series Nps / Ucbn / Nrds-2012/380 National Park Service

This annual report details the status of key stream channel characteristics and riparian attributes obtained from the first season of monitoring in Jim Ford Creek within the Weippe Prairie unit and Lapwai Creek within the Spalding unit of Nez Perce National Historical Park (NEPE). This report is intended as a release of basic data sets and data summaries. Care has been taken to assure accuracy of raw data values, but thorough analysis and interpretation of the data has not been completed. More extensive analysis and discussion of stream channel characteristics and riparian will occur as part of the trend analysis, which will be available after 3 years of monitoring data become available.
