Reports and Data
The Chihuahuan Desert Network produces a wide range of products that focus on natural resources in network park units. Our goal is to make this information available to park staff, resource specialists, researchers, and the interested public.
The Learning Center of the American Southwest is also a source of additional CHDN communication products (briefs, project summaries, overviews, etc.).
The following project products are divided as follows:
Inventory - Vertebrates and Vascular Plants
Inventory - Physical Sciences and Paleontology
Monitoring
