KEFJ Exit Glacier Moose Browse- Winter 2003
2003. KEFJ Exit Glacier Moose Browse- Winter 2003
GPS polygon features were collected in the Exit Glacier Area. Polygon features were collected to show areas of high density of moose browsed vegetation. General criteria as to what constituted moose browse included areas of high willow plant concentration, areas with a minimum percentage of willow (Salix) or cottonwood (Populus) or which ever species the moose were eating. Areas included as browse tended to be brush that was cropped short - 5 feet or less - occasionally higher - multibranched (compensatory growth) from a history of being browsed.
