Final report: Exotic plant management team 2004 Kenai Fjords National Park
Kriedeman CL. 2004. Final report: Exotic plant management team 2004 Kenai Fjords National Park
The purpose of this project was to document, map and reduce populations of invasive plant species in Kenai Fjords National Park (KEFJ) using Alaska Exotic Plant Management Team (EPMT) protocol. Exotic plants were surveyed and mapped using a Trimble GeoXT Geospatial Positioning System (GPS) unit and entered into a nationwide database. All exotic plant species surveyed had previously been identified in the park in 2001 (Densmore 2001), but plant numbers appear to have increased. Monitoring and control efforts should continue at KEFJ to prevent further spread and introduction of new exotic plant species and to keep native ecosystems intact.
