Abstract:

The research underway has three principal objectives. The first of these is to expand the knowledge of the existing vegetation of the site. The site has almost quadrupled in size (to 836 acres) and only portions of the original site have been investigated (Davis, 1959; Johnson, 1978). The second objective is to develop an understanding of the historic vegetation of the area. National Park Service (NPS) plans for the interpretation of the site call for an historic time frame of the 1870's but the diverse uses of the property over the past century have created vegetation distributions that are not congruent with that time period. The third objective is to develop a vegetation management plan for the site that will convert the existing vegetation into an approximation of the historical vegetation and provide guidelines for maintaining that appearance.

Abstract:

On the Ukraine’s territory, as well as elsewhere, there are not only unique, picturesque places but also energetically powerful ones, whose phenomenon is deeply rooted in the past, i.e., their natural diversity interacts with cultural and historical wealth. Among those places is Posullia, where a national nature park was created. This park, ways of natural biodiversity protection, and spiritual power of this land are discussed in this article.

Abstract:

There have been raised several questions about saving natural, historical and cultural values of the territory of national park “Dnister river canyon” in this article. Also, this work highlights historical and natural conditions of canyon’s formation. Landscape, aesthetic and recreational resources of Dnister river canyon are incomparable among the territory of Ukraine. That is why it is important to save it from massive anthropogenic pressure. On of the stresses is a planned construction of upper Dnister river cascade hydropower station on the protected territory of national park “Dnister river canyon”.

Full text

Abstract:

Mangroves are a major ecosystem within Kakadu National Park in Australia’s Northern Territory, providing coastal protection, high biodiversity and an important resource for Aboriginal people. In the late Holocene (from c. 6000 before present), mangroves occupied much of the estuarine and coastal plains, but their range has subsequently contracted to the main river systems (the West Alligator, South Alligator and East Alligator Rivers, and the Wildman River), tributary creeks and offshore islands (Field and Barrow Islands). On the basis of maps of mangrove extent generated from aerial photography (1950, 1975, 1984 and 1991), compact airborne spectrographic imagery (CASI; 2002), light detection and ranging (LIDAR; 2011) and RapidEye data (2014 onward), changes in net area have been minor but significant redistribution has occurred, with this being attributed to both inland intrusion and seaward colonisation of mangroves. The greatest area changes have been associated with lower-stature mangroves dominated by Avicennia marina and Sonneratia alba, as determined from these datasets. Aerial surveys, conducted using a remote piloted aircraft (RPA) and fixed wing aircraft in September 2016, showed dieback of mangroves, with spaceborne RapidEye observations suggesting this occurred between late 2015 and 2016 and at the same time as the extensive mangrove losses reported in the Gulf of Carpentaria. Given the recent dieback and the associated need to better monitor and protect mangroves and proximal ecosystems in the World Heritage- and Ramsar-listed Kakadu National Park, the study recommends the development and implementation of a robust and long-term monitoring system that better utilises existing and ongoing earth observation and ground data, and is supported by a national approach.

Abstract:

In August 1916 President Woodrow Wilson founded the National Park Service (NPS) as a means of preserving the United States’ wildlands, battlefields, and historical monuments. Over the last century this agency has grown exponentially, rising to 409 sites of significance as of 2014. In celebration of this achievement and in time for the National Park Service’s centennial later this year I have chosen to focus on the origin of one site in particular: Grand Teton National Park. This article thus seeks to present a case study of the park’s creation narrative as told through government documents, and to provide a starting place for researchers interested in the National Park System and/or Grand Teton National Park.

Full text

Abstract:

We reconstructed the 100 year history of the botanical composition of a small (19 km2) park (Bic National Park, Bic/St. Fabien, Quebec) located within an agricultural landscape. Using 64 historical sources and a botanical field survey, we documented changes in the native and exotic vascular flora that occurred before and after the creation of the park in 1984. We evaluated how many native species were lost from 1984 to 2005, and the number of exotic species that became established during the same period. A total of 585 plant taxa were found in Bic National Park before its creation, of which 488 (83%) were native. The park harbours more taxa today (710) than in the past, but the proportion of exotic taxa has increased significantly (from 16% to 25%) since 1984. Despite its small area, Bic National Park has very successfully preserved its flora during its 21 year history. Thirteen species have likely been extirpated from the area occupied by the park. However, 12 of these 13 species have not been seen since at least 1957, so they were probably extirpated before the creation of the park. On the other hand, the creation of the park did not stop the introduction of exotic species. Land-use changes, an increase in the number of visitors, and horticultural plantings are probably the main causes explaining the rise in the number of exotic taxa observed during the last 21 years. A small park located far from urban centres may preserve its flora, but is not necessarily a bastion against exotic species.

The result of the increased anthropogenic global influence has become a planetary phenomenon of fragmentation of natural landscapes. One of the relatively preserved natural systems of landscape diversity is national park “Slobozhanskiy” in the Kharkiv region. The National Park “Slobozhanskiy” – an important center of biodiversity in Eastern Ukraine. Biotic uniqueness of its territory is largely determined by local natural and historical conditions. The article analyzes the flora and fauna of the national park, to the extent possible volume of article – retrospective prerequisites for the formation of not simple relationship in the system “man – nature” after the settlement of Sloboda Ukraine in the XVII century.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Burning embers are pushed over a 3,000 feet granite cliff to create a ‘firefall’ visitor spectacular. Sounds like an amusement park attraction? Actually, this and other actions have taken place in National Parks that were not conducive to good management of geologic resources. This article will explore the evolution of geologic resource management from its laissez-faire inception, to an era when landscape architects largely drove management of geologic resources, to today's policy-driven Geologic Resource Division that professionally provides comprehensive and project-specific assistance to parks.

Abstract:

This paper analyzes two phases of the history of the National City Park in Stockholm: the process preceding formal park establishment and the ongoing place construction following park establishment. With thematic narrative analysis, I show that constructing the National City Park as a “place” relied on considerable abstraction. Similarly, the construction of the park's uniformity relied on an organizing principle that eliminated many entities and activities from the narrative of the place. This case study also demonstrates that “nature” might need allies in the endeavor to protect urban greenery. The framing of the narrative in historical and cultural heritage terms was a key factor in the effort to protect the National City Park from urban development.

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper gives an account of the recent history and the international and national policy background with respect to the planning and administration of Bhutan's nine national parks, nature reserves and sanctuaries, and sheds light on their current problems. Although more than 25 per cent of Bhutanese territory has been declared protected area over the last three decades, little data is available on the local population's perception of the aims, present status and the benefits of national parks, and their future role in the regional political setting and national resource use policy. Local communities are exposed to the legal limitations of resource use. A national park regime faces the problems of integrating issues of local management with the international community's demands on biodiversity preservation and conservation, and with the objectives of a national resource use concept.

The primary research project that spanned the two months was an investigation into the history of the Upper Granite Patrol Cabin.

Using resources within the GTNP, the Jackson Hole Historical Society, and research on similar building types, I determined that the cabin was not likely to be a poacherâs cabin, but was most likely to be an early rangerâs patrol cabin, built before

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The fossil record preserved throughout the National Park Service spans more than a billion years and is documented in at least 267 park units. The discovery, collection, study, and resource management of fossils from localities which are currently within parks sometimes predate the establishment of the National Park Service and many of the parks. Public education and interpretation at parks such as Agate Fossil Beds and Tule Springs Fossil Beds national monuments and many other designated areas include information on the rich history of paleontological field work by notable paleontologists undertaken prior to the areas being preserved as national park areas. Another important historical aspect for several dozen parks involves the conservation efforts undertaken by the public and interest groups to preserve and protect these important fossil localities. The evolution of the science and methodologies in paleontology is reflected in the resource management undertaken by the National Park Service and documented in park resource management records and archives, scientific publications, and agency policy. Today the National Park Service celebrates fossils by coordinating the National Fossil Day partnership which helps to promote the scientific and educational value of fossils.

Abstract:

In the district part of «Losynyi Ostrov» National Park the state of plantations bound for clear sanitary felling based on the results of an earlier forest pathological survey was studied. 58 plots with a total area of 98,8 hectares, located in the specially protected and recreational zones of the national park, were examined. «Losynyi Ostrov», which has a relatively small area, is located at the junction of the three forest-growing regions; on its territory there is a unique wetland complex of the Yauza river and its tributaries. This led to a wide variety of natural conditions. At the same time, the national park is surrounded by densely populated urbanized areas. Recommendations to create forest plantations in areas with decayed stands were made, being based on the analysis of the historical experience of creating artificial plantations in «Losynyi Ostrov», edaphic and hydrological conditions, as well as considering the designated purpose of forests within each functional zone. 8 variants of forest cultures are proposed for each functional zone. The main and alternative crop options at each site are considered. The substantiation of the species range and the stand composition of pure and mixed crops, which are determined taking into account the designated purpose of forests, the potential of the forest growing conditions of the site, the type of forest, the type of soils and their moisture content, are given. Taking into account the designated purpose of forests, perennial tree species that are resistant to adverse environmental factors and are capable of forming in the future highly productive, recreationally attractive and long-lived plantations, corresponding to the historically formed natural environment of the national park, are preferable. Pine, spruce, linden, oak and larch are suggested as the main species, accompanied with elm and ash. It is concluded that the density of planting crops of more than 2 thousand pieces/ha in the recreational zone is impractical, since such plantings will be more comfortable for recreation. In a specially protected area, the appropriate planting density is 3–4 thousand pieces/ha.

Abstract For more than four decades, historians, historic preservationists, journalists, and public officials have debated the purpose and appropriateness of a national park in Lowell, Massachusetts. This article, written by the first NPS historian in Lowell, builds on existing literature and interprets the founding and early development of Lowell National Historical Park in the context of changing national politics. It locates the concept for the park in the Great Society, documents the contested debate over the park's founding in the 1970s, and argues that the park developed very differently than planned during the radically changed political environment of the 1980s.

Abstract:

Changing sociocultural and historiographic contexts require new approaches to interpretation and presentation at National Park Service–administered sites. Through the study of two NPS parks in Washington State (San Juan Island National Historical Park and Whitman Mission National Historic Site), this article explores the agency’s interpretive programs and practices in relation to founding mandates and contemporary relevance. As demonstrated by these case studies, efforts to expand programming and presentations within the NPS system are ongoing but at present insufficient in light of current changes in demographics and visitation. Ultimately, for the NPS to remain relevant in the twenty-first century it must respect founding mandates but diversify interpretation of its parks’ contested histories, thereby enhancing its contemporary relevance and better engaging today’s audiences.

Abstract:

The growing importance of participatory and collaborative approaches in resource management has resulted in an increased emphasis on identifying the complex relationships between natural national parks and neighboring rural communities. Given the limited number of studies dealing with parks beyond rural areas, our exploratory case study examines how conflict stemming from diverse community stakeholders’ perspectives and values in regard to the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park influences their involvement and attitudes toward park management. Thirty-two interviews were conducted and analyzed using a content-analysis methodology. Guided by the Progress Triangle conflict management framework, each stakeholder’s views, interests, and aspirations associated with the missions were organized according to the framework’s three dimensions: Substance, procedure, and relationship. The study findings discussed how stakeholders’ varying perspectives regarding cultural resources influenced their interactions with urban historical national parks and their attitudes toward park management. Furthermore, how stakeholders can reconcile their differences through a collaborative approach for better park management was discussed.

Abstract:

Between 1963 and 1980, seventeen historic archeological sites were excavated in Minute Man National Historical Park (MIMA), located in Lexington, Lincoln, and Concord, Massachusetts. The sites date to the 17th–19th centuries, and the majority are located on Battle Road, the route taken by British and Colonial forces on the eventful day of April 19, 1775. Except for one tavern and two roads, all sites are farm or homesteads. Since none of the research reports on these sites has been published, researchers interested in comparative data generally are unaware of what is available. Unfortunately, this situation prevails for many North American historic sites excavated prior to the early 1970s—the period when most of the research at the Minute Man Park was done. This article summarizes and evaluates the research done on the Minute Man sites, and identifies areas for which the excavated data have comparative value. An annotated bibliography of the reports on the seventeen sites also is provided. Detailed information on the results presented here is based on and can be found in Baker (1980).

Abstract:

In examining dry grassland areas of Wood Buffalo National Park (WBNP), we used vascular plant indicators commonly found in the grassland landscapes in the southern and central parts of the Prairie Provinces. With distance northward the landscapes become increasingly tree-dominated and the dry grasslands have fewer dry grassland indicator species (about 40 in the area of WBNP) and become smaller in size (about 1 ha in WBNP). Key species are Stipa comata Trin & Rupr., Stipa curtiseta (A.S. Hitchc.) Barkworth, and Stipa columbiana Macoun on the drier sites. Paleontological records and historical documents suggest that these remnant dry grasslands must expand during decades of drought and must contract during decades of higher summer rainfall. We hypothesize that fires might enhance dry grassland expansion by stressing and killing trees and shrubs. Southern dry grassland vascular plant species represent over 7% of the total in WBNP. It is reasonable to hypothesize that these represent special ecotypes that deserve special protection through prescribed burning.Key words: remnant grasslands, Stipa spp., climate change.

Abstract:

The research has four primary Objectives: 1. Map Bryce Canyon National Park to historic vegetation type by use of relocated historic photographs, inference from similar regions, and results of computer simulations using estimated fire return frequencies; 2. Map fuel loads and fuel model types throughout Bryce Canyon National Park; 3. Classify and map areas by fire groups using information on vegetation composition and response to fire; and 4. Develop a written and pictorial document to portray vegetation change in historical time. These objectives are integrated into an overall program to determine the role of fire in maintaining the previous historical vegetation composition, to determine the potential for use of fire as a tool to reconstruct historic vegetation, and to determine fuel management opportunities and problems resulting from current conditions. All map information is to be digitized as SAGIS GIS maps and entered into a landscape simulation model for use by Park Service personnel.

Abstract:

In the latter half of the 1980s, Muriel (Miki) Crespi, Chief Ethnographer for the National Park Service, gave voice to the concept in the National Park Service of "ethnographic resources" and a systematic effort to survey and inventory national parks for their presence. Within the National Park Service at the time, "cultural resources" were archeology sites, buildings, structures, museum objects, and landscapes that were mostly historic (or prehistoric) in nature. These types of cultural resources were considered tangible objects or "properties" that had some element of historical value and could be identified, counted, and subsequently "managed." In most cases, the identification and evaluation of these cultural resources was based on whether they fit into the criteria of significance developed for the National Register of Historic Places.
