-
Aquatic Ecosystems
Aquatic ecosystems connect the nature and history of parks in the North Coast and Cascades Network.

Nonnative Invasive Species
Some nonnative species degrade native ecosystems because they are able to reproduce and displace native species.
-
Pollinators
Pollinators like bees, flower flies, and butterflies, provide an essential ecosystem service that most wild plants and animals depend on.
-
Vegetation Ecology
Changes in plant distribution, abundance, and phenology are valuable indicators of current and past environmental and climate factors.
