A Protocol on Sampling Designs and Methodologies for Selective and Adaptive Monitoring in Caves or Air Temperature, Relative Humidity, and Cross-sectional Air Velocity Throughout the Cumberland Piedmont Network in Bloomington, MN

The protocol provides sampling designs and methodologies for assessing cave environmental parameters in the contexts of supporting long-term cave system monitoring, providing management-directed assessment of local and site-specific conditions. The protocol also provides environmental conditional assessment in support of biotic sampling and monitoring being performed in caves as addressed by other Cumberland Piedmont Network (CUPN) monitoring protocols.
