Northern Colorado Plateau Network Vascular Plants Inventory / Herbaria Reviews

Perkins D. Northern Colorado Plateau Network Vascular Plants Inventory / Herbaria Reviews. 2005. National Park Service

From 2005-2007, a series of research studies were conducted to update vascular plant species checklists for each of the 16 national park units in the Northern Colorado Plateau Network (NCPN). These studies entailed a thorough reexamination of all herbarium specimens in the museum archives of each park, as well as a review of specimens in other state and regional herbaria and pertinent published and unpublished literature. Information was compiled on all plant species confirmed as present in a park (with a corroborated voucher specimen) or reported in the literature (without a specimen), as well as species that might potentially occur or which had been shown to be falsely reported. The resulting data were compiled in the Park Service’s NPSpecies database and in a series of technical reports. Between 2008 and 2011, additional field work and data mining were conducted, resulting in new species discoveries for several park units. These new discoveries and other updates were published in several addendum reports.
