The project will: 1. Evaluate metrics and potential monitoring designs to identify key metrics of interest and existing, planned, and past basin-wide monitoring efforts. 2. Identify potential historical and existing monitoring sites to be considered for representing conditions of interest across the basin. 3. Use existing information to evaluate the best suite of sites to represent current and expected future change across the basin to meet intensive and extensive monitoring objectives. 4. Test and refine recommendations, focusing on methods directed at fire risk, water availability, forest drought stress, aquatic ecology, and biodiversity.
