Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument Vascular Plant Inventory
Panjabi SS and Anderson SJ. 2002. Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument Vascular Plant Inventory. Colorado State University
As part of its biological inventory program, the National Park Service (NPS) contracted the Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) in 2001-2002 to conduct a field inventory of vascular plants of Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument (FLFO). In 2001 the Rocky Mountain Network of the NPS developed a study plan for biological inventories for parks in the Network. Although detailed botanical research had been conducted in FLFO (Edwards and Weber 1990), additional research was needed, particularly regarding the distribution of rare and non-native plants. The Network in cooperation with CNHP submitted a Biological Inventory Study Plan to the NPS Inventory and Monitoring Program, which was approved. That Plan provides detailed information and guidance for biological inventories in all Rocky Mountain Network parks.
