Type: protocol

Article abstract: To ensure consistency in data collection, the IMG protocol and associated data forms provide a standardized basis for documenting occurrence status and assessing habitat and threats for the various species. The SDMMP and partners developed the protocol and data forms based on recommendations from a comprehensive review of rare plant monitoring data collected from 1999 to 2009 under the San Diego Multiple Species Conservation Program (McEachern et al. 2007, 2010a, b, Tracey et al. 2011).
