In February 2000 the Alaska Natural Heritage Program (AKNHP) entered into a cooperative agreement with the Alaska Support Office of the National Park Service to assist with Step 1 of the Biological Inventory Program in Alaska: to compile and verify historical and predicted species data. The primary objective of the Biological Inventories was to document the occurrence of 90 % of the vertebrate and vascular plant species expected to occur in each park. The three main goals addressed by AKNHP were: (1) produce lists of vascular plant and vertebrate species for each of the sixteen National Park units of the Alaska Region; (2) compile supportive evidence on the status of each species in each park and catalog this evidence in the bibliographic database NRBib; and (3) use this information to populate the NPSpecies database. Evidence gathered was in the form of published and unpublished literature, voucher collections, and observations. This final report summarizes the entire project and documents methods and decisions used to populate the NPSpecies and NRBib databases.
