Apply Adaptive Management (As Warranted) Sample Clauses

Apply Adaptive Management (As Warranted). Specific adaptive management thresholds and responses must be provided in the Partner’s CI.

Apply Adaptive Management (As Warranted) o If Partners are characterizing adopted acres using the required data fields in Table 14-2 (presence vs. absence metrics), adaptive management is triggered when 10% of monitoring plots demonstrate a lack of adequate milkweed and nectar plant cover. When this happens, Partners will evaluate the success of the management measures on the site and make management adjustments to achieve habitat targets. o If Partners are characterizing adopted acres using the optional vegetative data fields in Table 14-2 (milkweed stem counts, and percent cover of potentially flowering nectar plants), adaptive management is triggered when the 90% confidence interval is below the criteria for milkweed stem density and percent cover of potentially flowering nectar plant species. Note that if few survey plots are used (e.g. 10), variability in the data may be more likely to trigger adaptive management. Partners may voluntarily choose to increase their number of samples to minimize the chances of triggering the threshold. For example, in the first approach above, adaptive management would be triggered if one of 10 survey plots demonstrated a lack of adequate milkweed and nectar plants, but not if 1 of 11 plots did.
