Alagnak Wild River: Landcover classes and plant associations
Boucher T and Flagstad L. 2014. Alagnak Wild River: Landcover classes and plant associations. Natural Resource Technical Report. NPS/ALAG/NRTR—2014/927. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado
Development of a landcover map for the Alagnak Wild River corridor has been highlighted as a necessary ecological inventory on which monitoring could be based (Bennett et al. 2006). The landcover map presented here was manually digitized on current aerial photography in a GIS environment and verified with vegetation surveys. The landcover classes and plant associations identified herein aim to capture the full variation of vegetation types within the project area. Descriptions accompanying each class and association provide information on characteristic vegetation and environmental conditions. Placement within the National Vegetation Classification is proposed for each plant association.
