Community Science, Education, and Stewardship: Equitable and inclusive hands-on student research essential to the management of the Rio Grande ecosystem.
The Bosque Ecosystem Monitoring Program (bemp.org) collects core monitoring data on a monthly basis at each of our 33 sites with our community science members.
Our core community science datasets are:
Depth to groundwater
Leaf litterfall
Precipitation
Depth to water in the nearby ditch
Surface active arthropods
BEMP also collects the following data sets:
Vegetation surveys at the centimeter scale
Woody debris for fuel load calculations
Diameter at breast height for cottonwood trees
Water quality on the Rio Grande
Pressure transducer data from the shallow riparian aquifer
Temperature data logger
BEMP science and education take place on current and ancestral lands of the Pueblo, Diné (Navajo), Apache, and other displaced Indigenous Peoples.
BEMP is a partnership between the Sevilleta Long Term Ecological Research Station and the University of New Mexico Department of Biology. The primary start funding for the Bosque Ecosystem Monitoring Program came from the National Science Foundation (Grant No. DEB-9420510, Amendment No. 004, 1997) through the Univeristy of New Mexico Department of Biology.
