Taylor Wilderness 研究 Station

Embedded within the heart of the Frank Church - River of No Return Wilderness is a one-of-a-kind venue for scientific discovery. This facility allows the opportunity to explore social, political and economic implications on ecological processes in a wilderness context. 被2包围.39 million acres of wilderness in central Idaho, the station provides outstanding access, facilities and logistical support for research on natural environments.

The station’s remote location provides an abundance of unique research opportunities for study. Projects undertaken by faculty and students include the following:

Vegetation and rangeland monitoring
植物鉴别
野生动物调查
Stream ecology and monitoring
野火的影响
Cultural and anthropological investigations
Economic impacts in wilderness usage

行动

Taylor Weather Recording Station

For more than three decades, daily weather measurements have been recorded and include maximum, 最小和8a.m. temperature readings, as well as precipitation accumulation and distribution.

AERONET

Taylor Wilderness 研究 Station has become a collaborator in NASA’s Aerosol Robotics Network (AERONET) as one of 500+ sites around the world used to measure aerosols and their movement in the atmosphere.

Idaho Steelhead Monitoring

Idaho Department of Fish and 游戏, Idaho Steelhead Monitoring and Evaluation Studies Project

Wild steelhead trout and Chinook salmon, listed as "threatened" in Idaho under the Endangered Species Act, are monitored by the Idaho Department of Fish and 游戏 to assess their performance in the Frank Church – River of No Return Wilderness.

RiverNET

University of Idaho, Department of Fish and Wildlife Sciences, RiverNet, Dr. 布莱恩•肯尼迪

RiverNET instrumentation gathers fine scale temporal measurements of Big Creek tributaries to acquire detailed measurements for ongoing reach-scale ecological studies and recording stream water temperature, 放电, dissolved oxygen and conductivity near the mouths of Pioneer, 克里夫和拉什溪.

鸟类及蝙蝠监察

Taylor Wilderness 研究 Station is collaborating with Idaho State University and Boise State University to install acoustic sensors for long-term monitoring of avian and bat species that are using the Big Creek drainage. A potential application of this project is to monitor in and out migration of avian species in a changing climate, as well as avian and bat species diversity.

蓝束麦草

Sampling plots are being reestablished to continue monitoring changes in 蓝束麦草 biomass. BBWG is a major dietary component of Mountain Sheep in the Frank Church – River of No Return Wilderness and may be a good indicator of the health of this population.

美国国家海洋和大气管理局 / NMFS PIT Recovery

National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (美国国家海洋和大气管理局) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)

A Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) mark recapture and recovery (MRR) site at TWRS is part of a regional database within the Columbia River Basin, 被称为PITAGIS. Annual visits are made to tag juvenile salmon and maintain the tag sensor array within Big Creek.
