Bandelier National Monument has a wide array of natural and cultural resources and associated management concerns. Through this study, FORT scientists collocated at Bandelier provide essential support integral to addressing the major resource management issues. Specific studies include long-term ecological monitoring across landscape gradients in the Jemez Mountains on topics such as vegetation, tree growth, erosion, and arthropods; ecology, runoff, and erosion dynamics in piñon-juniper woodlands; and watershed studies in the Jemez Mountains.
