Exotic Plant Infestation Locations within Glacier National Park, Montana (2006)
Menicke RK. 2006. Exotic Plant Infestation Locations within Glacier National Park, Montana (2006). National Park Service, Glacier National Park
This data set shows locations of exotic plant infestations within Glacier National Park as of October 1, 2006. These sites were extracted and mapped from the park's MS-Access exotic vegetation database, which describes infestations, treatments, and control efforts by site and is used as a population tracking/monitoring tool. Some populations in the Access database were discovered in the 1980s and continue to be tracked today. The data is displayed as point data, though populations may be discrete points, polygon areas, or linear (e.g. adjacent to roads). The data is also biased towards transportation corridors (roads, trails, floatable rivers) where exotic vegetation can be recorded in non-systematic (i.e. opportunistic) surveys. The data set is intended for use during the 2007 field seasson, to provide location maps for field crews to visit.
