Bosque Ecosystem Monitoring Program

The Bosque Ecosystem Monitoring Program (BEMP) collects core monitoring data on a monthly basis at each of their 33 sites with our community science members.

Core community science datasets are:

Depth to groundwater
Leaf litterfall
Precipitation
Depth to water in the nearby ditch
Surface active arthropods

BEMP also collects the following data sets:
Vegetation surveys at the centimeter scale
Woody debris for fuel load calculations
Diameter at breast height for cottonwood trees
Water quality on the Rio Grande
Pressure transducer data from the shallow riparian aquifer
Temperature data logger
