Multiple Species Inventory and Monitoring Manual
The Iowa Multiple Species Inventory and Monitoring Technical Manual is presented in 2 formats. The first format is as a complete manual for those interested in the entire program. The second format is as individual protocols for each taxonomic group. The same information is presented in each format. The manual, however, is 229 pages with all 5 appendices, which may be too cumbersome for those interested in only 1 or 2 taxonomic groups.
For those interested in the entire program, we recommend downloading:
- MSIM Technical Manual
- Appendix 1 - 5
For those interested in only certain taxonomic groups, we recommend downloading:
- Office Protocols
- Monitoring Protocols specific to the organisms of interest
With the exception of Appendix 1 Tables of Iowa Wildlife, information for all relevant appendices is included in the individual monitoring protocols.
