Description
The reference state supports one community phase that consists of a patchwork of tall and low shrubs (fig. 5). This mosaic pattern presently cannot be predicted by landform, abiotic features, or disturbance regime.
This report provides baseline vegetation inventory data. Future data collection is needed to provide further information about existing plant communities and possible disturbance regimes that may result in transitions from one community to another. All community phases are characterized by the Alaska Vegetation Classification System (Viereck et al., 1992).
