Alyssum allysoides and Ranunculus testiculatus monitoring project
Coon C and Schultz M. 1999. Alyssum allysoides and Ranunculus testiculatus monitoring project. Mesa Verde National Park
Seven permanent 30 m transects were established to monitor the spread of two exotic species of concern, Alyssum allysoides and Ranunculus testiculatus. Vegetation foliar cover was recorded 0.5x0.5m plots at 3 m intervals along the transect. Average percent cover for each species was calculated per transect. Cover estimates for R. testiculatus are probably inaccurate due to the time of sampling. Location information for the transects and datasheets for the 1999 sampling are included. There was no follow-up on this project
