The University of Alaska Anchorage, Alaska Natural Heritage Program agreed to conduct a vascular plant survey of the proposed UNAVCO Plate Boundary Observatory GPS monument site at Slope Mountain in Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. The need for a plant survey was precipitated by the discovery of a number of rare plants found on surrounding peaks during vascular plant inventories in 2003 and 2005 (see Carlson et al. 2005 for details). The survey of the UNAVCO site on the northeast peak of Slope Mountain did not reveal any imperiled or critically imperiled vascular plant species. Here, I briefly outline the background of the project and rare plant concerns in the area, location and habitat of the site, survey...

The objectives of the project were to establish permanent sites for monitoring long-term changes in natural resources on Elmendorf Air Force Base (EAFB), AK; to develop methods for monitoring long-term vegetation change; and to provide baseline descriptions of permanent monitoring sites. A methodology manual was developed detailing design, layout and monumenting of sites; physical site and vegetation sampling procedures; and field data sampling forms. Detailed methods were also provided for directional notes and photo documentation. Statistical validity was maintained by employing a two-phase sampling design and providing for an adequate sample size through replicate samples within and between plots and cover types....

In June 2004 the Alaska Natural Heritage Program (AKNHP), University of Alaska Anchorage, entered into a grant agreement with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (USFWS) Coastal Program to gather baseline distribution data on three freshwater mussel species: Anodonta beringiana, Anodonta kennerlyi, and Margaritifera falcata. In addition to this work, a modification to the original grant enabled the project to concurrently investigate the presence of two invasive mollusks, the Zebra Mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) and the New Zealand Mudsnail (Potamopyrgus antipodarum). This report summarizes the methods and results of the study and makes recommendations for future research and management of freshwater mussels...
