Moose Habitat and Populations in Mount McKinley National Park, Alaska

Wolff JO and Cowling J. 1979. Moose Habitat and Populations in Mount McKinley National Park, Alaska. University of Virginia. Charlottesville, VA

During the winter of 1978-79, moose browsing intensities in Mt. McKinley National Park averaged 65%. Browsing intensities were greatest in small, dense, single-species stands and less in large, mixed-species stands. Moose population densities are below but approaching the carrying capacity of the range and are currently being limited by predation.
