1993 Caribou Exclosure Monitoring Vegetation
Reid ME, Reid ME, Reid M. 1993. 1993 Caribou Exclosure Monitoring Vegetation. Jenkins, Kurt
Percentage of bare ground as well as total plant cover and mean vegetative heights were compared for species of shrubs, dwarf shrubs, graminoids, lichens, forbs, mosses, and lower vascular plants within 28 20x50-cm quadrats placed systematically along three transects inside and outside five ungulate exclosures. This study follows the 1982-1983 Mentasta Caribou Randy Study (see related documents and data) and includes modifications to the 1982 protocol in order to overcome limitations in sampling methods and design. The 1993 digital files cannot be located. Hard copies of the data and the analysis are on file. (Data collected: June 28, 30, July 5-8, 1993) Accession number: WRST-00175.
