Kenai National Wildlife Refuge staff and partners annually survey for and treat invasive plants on Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.
Sampling Description
Study Extent
The extent of the study is the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge and its vicinity.Sampling
We annually surveyed for non-native plants visually using field collection and data standards compatible with the Alaska Exotic Plant Information Clearinghouse database (AKEPIC, http://aknhp.uaa.alaska.edu/apps/akepic/).Method steps
- We visited mostly human-disturbed locations including roads, trailheads, and trails, where we visually surveyed non-native plants using AKEPIC-compatible field methods and data standards. Most identifications were made in the field by eye. Sometimes plant specimens were collected for identification in the lab. We also treated non-native plants by pulling, trimming, or applying herbicides.
