Springs monitoring data for Guadalupe Mountains National Park, Texas: 2017-2025 - internal

This dataset contains long-term monitoring data for springs for Guadalupe Mountains National Park (2017-2025). Monitoring of seeps, springs, and tinajas provides information on these small and rare systems in parks of the National Park Service’s Chihuahuan Desert Network (CHDN) and Sonoran Desert Network (SODN) parks. These systems are the primary connection between groundwater and surface water and are important water sources for plants and animals. The Southwestern Network Collaboration monitors a suite of springs vital signs and parameters organized into four modules: site characterization, site condition, water quantity, and water quality. The data were collected annually at one or more “sentinel sites” per park (sites chosen based on judgement and other criteria).

本数据集包含瓜达卢佩山国家公园（Guadalupe Mountains National Park）2017年至2025年的泉水长期监测数据。对渗流、泉水与岩盆（tinajas）的监测工作，可为美国国家公园管理局（National Park Service）奇瓦瓦荒漠网络（Chihuahuan Desert Network, CHDN）及索诺拉荒漠网络（Sonoran Desert Network, SODN）所辖公园内的这类小型稀有生态系统提供相关数据。此类系统是地下水与地表水之间的核心联结纽带，同时也是动植物的重要水源。西南网络协作项目（Southwestern Network Collaboration）针对泉水设置了一系列生命体征与监测参数，划分为四个模块：场地表征、场地状况、水量及水质。数据由各公园内依据专业判断及其他标准选定的一处或多处“哨兵监测点（sentinel sites）”每年采集完成。
