A Floristic Inventory of Vascular and Cryptogam Plant Species at Fort Richardson, Alaska.

Abstract : A floristic inventory was initiated at U.S. Army, Fort Richardson (FRA), Alaska, in 1994. The floristic inventory is in support of the U.S. Army Land-Condition Trend Analysis (LCTA) program, which is a major component of the Integrated Training Area Management program. The scope of the inventory included both vascular plants and ground-inhabiting cryptogams (mosses, lichens, and liverworts). This floristic record also helps support data needs in response to the Endangered Species Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and AR 420-74 for Natural Resources-Land, Forest, and Wildlife Management.
