ABSTRACT
There are ve parks in the Mojave Desert Network considered in this book that are larger than 100 mi2 (259 km2): Death Valley National Park (DEVA), Great Basin National Park (GRBA), Joshua Tree National Park (JOTR), Lake Mead National Recreation Area (LAKE), and Mojave National Preserve (MOJA; Figure 15.1). Larger parks generally have more available data with which to evaluate air pollution sensitivities and effects. Most available data have been collected for JOTR. Since air pollutants can be widespread, reduction of pollution emissions affecting large parks will often result in the protection of smaller parks located nearby as well.
