Comments

Thank you for maintaining this resource, Harry!

 

I have a suggestion for you:

McAuliffe, J.R., 1993. Case study of research, monitoring, and management programs associated with the saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) at Saguaro National Monument, Arizona (No. 48). National Park Service, Cooperative National Park Resources Studies Unit, School of Renewable Natural Resources, the University of Arizona.  Technical Report NPS/WRUA/NRTR-93/01

https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/Reference/Profile/630504

It's an old series NPS NRTR from 1993.  Yes it is available in DataStore, but I think it should be on your site, too.  It is a sobering history of misunderstandings about the demography and apparent decline of saguaro cacti in Saguaro National Monument, including serious proposals to decommission the National Monument in the 1940s because all of the saguaros were dying.
