Man and Biosphere Natural Resource Atlas for Yellowstone National Park

Abstract

Baseline information on the status of natural resources, past and present, is a vital ingredient in the decision-making process for natural resource management and in the planning, design and conduct of natural resource research. As a designated Biosphere Reserve in the International Man and Biosphere program (Franklin, 1977), there is a need for baseline information on Yellowstone to be organized into a single, readily available reference source for accurate and rapid assimilation by Park managers and researchers.
