Session 4 - Ecological Site Descriptions: An Interdisciplinary and Interagency Effort - Data Mining; Locating and Analyzing Vegetation Data
This is the fourth session of an eight-session webinar series. This training will introduce the basic concepts of ecological sites, how ecological site descriptions are developed, and how ecological site descriptions can be utilized in making management decisions.
Session 4 focuses on presentations that demonstrate how to mine and analyze existing data from research, academia and agency sources. The presentations focus on current examples of data mining, analyzing and interpretation to facilitate site concept confirmation and to facilitate the understanding of state and community phases change.

Restoration and Management of Temporary Wetlands -
-
Dave Haukos, Ph.D., Leader and Associate Professor, Kansas Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, Division of Biology, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS
This webinar will describe the dynamics of temporary wetlands and provide guidance regarding their management and restoration.
By definition, temporary wetlands are disturbance-based systems represented by dynamic ecological states and short-term intensive use. These typically isolated wetlands often lack regulatory protection and are misunderstood in terms of the magnitude of their ecological contribution. This webinar will address restoration and management of temporary wetlands to achieve conservation goals predicated on implementing or preserving disturbance-based ecological drivers that historically varied in intensity or timing.
