This report describes the work performed by the Alaska Exotic Plant Management Team at Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve during the 2010 season. Six Alaska Exotic Plant Management Team staff members were stationed at Park Headquarters in Copper Center while working at various locations within the park and preserve. Invasive plant inventories and treatments occurred around the following locations: along the McCarthy and Nabesna roads, along the Copper, Chitina, and Nizina rivers, at other locations in the Copper Basin, and at several backcountry destinations within park lands. Invasive plant infestations were mapped using Trimble GeoXT units and manual weeding was performed with the help of volunteers,...

This report describes the work performed by the Exotic Plant Management Team (EPMT) at Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve (WRST) during the 2009 season. Four EPMT members were stationed at three locations in the park: Copper Center, Slana, and McCarthy-Kennecott. Invasive plant inventories and weeding occurred around these three locations, along the McCarthy and Nabesna Roads, along the Copper River, at other locations in the Copper Basin, and at seven backcountry destinations within the park. Invasive plant populations were mapped using GeoXT Trimble units and manual weeding was performed with the help of volunteers, a Southeast Alaska Guidance Association (SAGA) crew, and seasonal National Park Service...

Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) are an integral part of the ecological and cultural fabric of northwest Alaska. Western Arctic Herd (WAH) caribou roam over this entire region, including all 5 Arctic Network Inventory and Monitoring Program (ARCN) National Park Units. Conservation of healthy caribou populations are specifically mentioned within the enabling legislation (Alaska National Interested Lands Conservation Act or ANILCA) of three of these Parks and is of critical concern to subsistence hunters within this region. Caribou are, by far, the most abundant large mammal in northwest Alaska and are famous for their long-distance migrations and large population oscillations. For these reasons, ARCN chose WAH caribou...

The 2007 field season marked the second year of development of the flowing waters portion of the Central Alaska Network (CAKN) Inventory and Monitoring Program, also known as the Vital Signs Program. Data collection occurred in both Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve (WRST) and in Denali National Park and Preserve (DENA). The purposes of the study were to 1) continue to refine field protocols and logistics related to the collection of relevant data in DENA and WRST streams and rivers; 2) determine the extent to which data collected from streams in DENA, primarily along the park road, as part of the Long-Term Ecological Monitoring Program (LTEM) are compatible with data collected using CAKN field protocols;...

Intended for timely release of basic data sets and data summaries. An example would be simple, annual reporting of monitoring results. Care has been taken to assure accuracy of raw data values, but a thorough analysis and interpretation of the data has not been completed. Consequently, the initial analyses of data in these reports are provisional and subject to change.

Lakes are dominant and diverse landscapefeatures in the Arctic, but conventional land coverclassification schemes typically map them as a singleuniform class. Here, we present a detailed lake-centricgeospatial database for an Arctic watershed in northernAlaska. We developed a GIS dataset consisting of 4362lakes that provides information on lake morphometry,hydrologic connectivity, surface area dynamics,surrounding terrestrial ecotypes, and other importantconditions describing Arctic lakes. Analyzing thegeospatial database relative to fish and bird survey datashows relations to lake depth and hydrologic connectivity,which are being used to guide research and aid in themanagement of aquatic resources in the NationalPetroleum...
In 2013 the Exotic Plant Management Team (EPMT) had a dual focus in Denali National Park and Preserve: to collect accurate data about the exotic plants in the park and to treat existing infestations. This was done using Global Positioning Systems to map the locations of the infestation and manual treatment of invasive plants, or in a few cases, the use of chemical treatment. Invasive plants are prioritized in part by the Alaska Natural Heritage Program’s invasive plant ranking system and phenology. Higher ranking plants may be pulled later in the season because a lower ranking plant goes to seed first. There has been a considerable attempt to manage and reduce the size and number of infestations of invasive plants...

This report presents the results of anecological land survey (ELS) effort that inventoried, and classified ecosystems in the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve. By analyzing the dynamic physical processes associated with coastal, riverine, lowland, glacial, hillside and mountainous environments, and the abundance and distribution of their diverse ecological resources, this study contributes to ecosystem management in national parklands in Alaska.

We used the CRU (1950-1959 and 2000-2009) and projected 5-GCM composite (2001-2010, 2051-2060, and 2091-2100) decadal climate forcing, ecotype (Jorgenson et al. 2008), soil landscape (Jorgenson et al. 2008), and snow (unpublished) maps of WRST to model the presence or absence of near-surface permafrost, temperature at the bottom of seasonal freeze-thaw layer and thickness of seasonal freeze-thaw layer within WRST. We produced permafrost temperature and active-layer and seasonally-frozen-layer thickness distribution maps through this modeling effort at a pixel spacing of 28.5 m. This is an immense improvement over the spatial resolution of existing permafrost maps on any part of Alaska, whether produced through the...

Executive Summary: Wolf populations have been monitored in Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve (YUCH) from March 1993 to present. Beginning October 2005 the project was incorporated into Central Alaska Network (CAKN) Vital signs monitoring program as a cost shared venture. Wolves throughout Yukon-Charley Rivers area are targeted for monitoring of abundance and distribution. All monitored packs routinely travel outside the Preserve, some extensively. This past winter, wolf captures were conducted in November 2011 and March 2012. Monitoring radio collared packs via radio telemetry flights will occur throughout the year with a concentrated period of flights in March – April and again in September – October. All...

This document presents a plant association classification for Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve (Yukon-Charley Rivers NP) and describes boreal forest successional trajectories following fire. The classification and successional trajectories provide resource managers with essential information to understand the vegetation and ecology of Yukon-Charley Rivers NP. This document also lists vascular plant species identified during the project, a review of the Preserve’s ecological literature, a description of the climate and geology, and the project’s methods.

This is the third progress report for a multi-year study of glaciers in Alaskan national parks. The project will be completed in December 2013. Here we present results from mapping of all glacier extents in Gates of the Arctic National Park & Preserve (NP&P), Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park (NHP), and Aniakchak National Monument & Preserve (NM&P), from measurements of surface elevation changes in Denali NP&P, and from focus glacier research in Denali NP&P, Katmai NP&P, and Lake Clark NP&P. We have accomplished all tasks on schedule for this third deliverable, and we look forward to continued conversation with our colleagues at NPS as the project moves forward. Significant results include the following:...

This report describes the work performed by the Alaska Exotic Plant Management Team at Denali National Park & Preserve during the 2010 field season. The Exotic Plant Management Team staff at Denali National Park & Preserve was comprised of two American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funded Student Conservation Association interns and one seasonal National Park Service employee. For the seventh consecutive year, invasive plant inventory and control occurred within the park focusing on the entrance area including the Denali Park Road, Visitor Center, railroad station, and campground. Invasive plant infestations were mapped using a Trimble 2003 GeoXT and manual weeding was performed with the help of three Southeast...
