Exotic Plant Monitoring in the Southern Plains Network

In 2011, the SOPN conducted a third season of exotic-plant monitoring to continue to test the methods and results of the network's proposed Exotic Plant Monitoring Protocol. A total of 886 vector blocks were sampled along high-invasion-probability vectors (primary units) in SOPN parks. These As part of the SOPN grassland and fire monitoring effort, 480 plots on 96 transects in areas not considered high-invasion probability (secondary units) were also sampled. Results of the 2011 sampling for each park are presented in this report.
