- This 2014 Annual Report provides summaries of monitoring data collected during the 2014 calendar year for the Estancia Basin Watershed Health, Restoration and Monitoring Steering Committee (Steering Committee). Details about research questions and the background and administration of this monitoring project may be found in the Estancia Basin Watershed Health and Monitoring Project: Monitoring Plan Evaluation (2008 Monitoring Plan) (SWCA Environmental Consultants [SWCA] 2008), which is available at the New Mexico Forest and Watershed Restoration Institute (Restoration Institute) website (http://www.nmfwri.org/images/ stories/pdfs/Estancia_Basin_Monitoring/EstanciaBasinMonitoring.pdf). The 2008 Monitoring Plan provides detailed information on the background knowledge of forest thinning in the Southwest and presents the goals and methodologies for the Estancia Basin forest thinning monitoring project. The 2008 Annual Report (SWCA 2009) also provides important background information about the Trigo wildfire monitoring project that was initiated in 2008. Previous annual reports for 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 summarize overall monitoring findings from those 6 years, and they also may be found at the Restoration Institute website.
- 2015 Annual Report: Estancia Basin Watershed Health, Restoration and Monitoring Project
- This 2015 Annual Report provides information on the results of forest thinning during the calendar year 2015. Initial 2008, 2009, and 2010 baseline pre-treatment monitoring data from permanent monitoring study sites provided information on rainfall, ambient and soil temperatures, soil moisture, soil surface profiles to assess erosion over time, soil surface stability, soil chemistry, bird and small mammal composition and relative abundance, and vegetation composition, structure, and cover. Monitoring data from 2011 to 2015 provides post treatment information on the above parameters along with data on medium-sized to large wildlife and livestock for the first 5 years following thinning treatments.
