The steps in this diagram assist Trust Fund recipients in determining the best experimental design and monitoring method for their water quality monitoring project.
Water Quality Management Decision Tree
In the section of the river above the dam builds up with sediment, making the dam shallower. High water flow causes scouring and the transport of sediment and associated nutrients over the dam. On this other side of the dam phosphorus mobilizes in reaction with salt water. Further down the river seagrass beds grow on the Susquehanna flats.
Conowingo Dam Reservoir and Susquehanna Flats…
The Northern Great Plains Network consists of 13 park units located in the Dakotas, Nebraska and eastern Wyoming. This network consists of 11 ecoregions.

The timing of tropical storms and hurricanes can have major impacts on the life histories of Chesapeake Bay flora and fauna. Changes in water salinity can cause early spawning in some species, such as the blue crab, and increased sediment can cause widespread die-off of seagrasses.
Storm Timing and Impacts on Chesapeake Bay Flora…
Badlands National Park sits upon highly erodible sedimentary rocks that form distinctive pinnacles, gullies and spires. Threats to the park include illegal fossiling and the invasion of weeds and non-native grasses.

Human impacts to Fort Union Trading Post include loss of native grass species, invasive plants and reduced river flow. Methods such as prescribed fire and the planting of native species have been used to restore and protect the site.
Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site…
Some of the most common threats to the national parks ecosystems include those to quality of air, quality and quantity of available water, and the parks native species. Prescribed fire is used to prevent uncontrolled forest fires and to reduce the growth of nonnative species.

While Jewel Cave is currently in pristine condition there are several threats that could potential damage this site. These threats include the pollution of ground water that seeps into the cave at various points and visitor impacts.
Jewel Cave National Monument Threats and Features
The Niobrara River is where six major biomes converge to form a rich diversity of flora and fauna. Threats to the river arise from fire exclusion leading to the expansion of ponderosa pine into grassland area, changes in microclimates, the spread of invasive plants and the high volume of visitors during peak periods.
