This assessment process revealed critical data gaps for a number of important health indicators.
Ecosystems
Each ecological community or ecosystem roll-up was created by aggregating all of the vegetation and wildlife metrics from individual indicators that were pertinent to that ecosystem. Each individual metric has its own condition, trend, and confidence level as already determined in the individual indicator assessments.
Landscapes
A comprehensive, big-picture view of the mountain’s resources will allow managers to prioritize restoration and protection efforts and allocate resources in new ways.
This program builds on successful existing models to find and eliminate priority weeds and engage volunteers in caring for Mt. Tamalpais.
