Because of their impacts on vegetation, disease transmission, visitor health, and vehicle-deer collisions, park managers at Arkansas Post National Memorial, Pea Ridge National Military Park, and Wilson\u2019s Creek National Battlefield identified white-tailed deer as a vital sign for monitoring. Monitoring white-tailed deer populations better positions park management to take action to mitigate concerns involving deer. The overall goals of HTLN white-tailed deer monitoring are to 1) document annual changes in the number of white-tailed deer, as changes could signal presence of illegal deer harvest, disease, or other acute factors of concern for park management; 2) document long-term trends in the number of white-tailed deer to help park management determine if measures need to be taken to maintain herd health, minimize vegetation damage within a park, or alleviate visitor health concerns; and 3) annually map locations of white-tailed deer observed to assist park management in assessing the influences of management actions on deer usage of an area, habitat type, etc.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "EML Metadata", "downloadURL": "https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/DownloadFile/708293?Reference=2303081", "format": "xml", "mediaType": "application/xml", "title": "HTLN_WhiteTailedDeer_metadata.xml"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "HTLN White-tailed Deer Monitoring data", "downloadURL": "https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/DownloadFile/708291?Reference=2303081", "format": "csv", "mediaType": "text/csv", "title": "HTLN_WhiteTailedDeer_Monitoring.csv"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "HTLN White-tailed Deer Sampling Events data", "downloadURL": "https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/DownloadFile/708292?Reference=2303081", "format": "csv", "mediaType": "text/csv", "title": "HTLN_WhiteTailedDeer_SamplingEvents.csv"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/NPS_DataStore_2303081", "issued": "2024-09-04T00:00:00Z", "keyword": ["ARPO", "Arkansas Post National Memorial", "Deer", "HTLN", "Heartland Network", "Long-term monitoring", "Mammal", "Monitoring", "NPS", "National Park Service", "Odocoileus virginianus", "PERI", "Pea Ridge National Military Park", "WICR", "White-tailed deer", "Wildlife", "Wilson's Creek National Battlefield"], "landingPage": "https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/Reference/Profile/2303081", "modified": "2024-09-04T00:00:00Z", "programCode": ["010:118", "010:119"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Park Service"}, "spatial": "-94.0652,33.976,-91.2523,37.1215", "temporal": "2005-03-02/2023-02-09", "theme": ["Data Package"], "title": "White-tailed Deer Monitoring for the Heartland Inventory and Monitoring Network: 2005-2023 - Data Package"}
