We conducted a preliminary study of and made recommendations concerning exotic vascular plants in Alaskan National Park units. The National Park Service defines exotic species as those occurring in a given place as a result of actions of humans. Study objectives included assembling and reporting existing information on exotic plant species, and performing field surveys in five high priority parks. This report focuses on plants we actruallky located and identified in or near the five parks surveyed during the 2000-2001 field seasons. We provide information for each taxon on life history, location and size of populations within each park, significance of impact, and feasibility of control or management.
