Camping impact management at Isle Royale National Park: an evaluation of visitor activity containment policies from the perspective of social conditions Camping impact management at Isle Royale National Park: an evaluation of visitor activity containment policies from the perspective of social conditions
A survey of backcountry and wilderness campsites at Isle Royale National Park reveals that the park?s policies for managing visitor impacts have been remarkably effective in limiting the areal extent of camping-related disturbance. However, the dense spatial arrangement of designated campsites within backcountry campgrounds has also contributed to problems with visitor crowding and...

Combining information from monitoring programs: Complications associated with indices and geographic scale Combining information from monitoring programs: Complications associated with indices and geographic scale
To adequately monitor Neotropical migratory birds, information must be collected to assess population change at local, regional, and continent-wide scales. I suggest that large-scale survey results (such as those derived from the North American Breeding Bird Survey) should not be used to predict population attributes on parks, refuges, and other protected areas. These areas are often...
