These lists are a product of AKNHP’s cooperative agreement with the Alaska Support Office of the U. S. National Park Service to assist with Step 1 of the Biological Inventory Program in Alaska. The final report titled: Final Report – Compilation of Existing Species Data In Alaska’s National Parks was produced as an end product of this project, and these lists are a supplement to that report. The final report summarizes the entire project and documents methods and decisions used to populate the NPSpecies and NRBib databases. One of the main tasks undertaken by AKNHP was to populate the NPSpecies database with species information for each park unit; this report is a product of that task. Sixteen separate reports of species lists – one for each of the Alaska Regional Park units – have been produced from the NPSpecies database. For background information on this database and to learn how it was populated see the section titled Population of the NPSpecies Database under Task 7 in the final report. Each of the different taxonomic groups (plants, fish, birds, mammals, and amphibians) for this Park unit is reported as a separate list. All lists were queried from NPSpecies by Park unit and taxonomic group. The main purpose of these lists is to provide a complete record of all the taxa and the park status given to each species as of the completion of data entry by AKNHP, September 30, 2001. For that purpose the following fields are reported in these lists: TSN number, Scientific name, Common name, and Park status. Additional fields in the list are the numbers of References, Vouchers, and Observations entered as evidence for each species. The taxa for each taxonomic group are arranged by Order-Family and Genus-Species. If a taxonomic group has any species with negative TSN numbers the species are listed under Order: Unassigned - Family: Unassigned. 1 Vascular Plant Species List Denali National Park and Preserve Vascular Plant Species in NPSpecies as of September 30, 2001 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TSN Scientific Name Common Name(s) Park Status Reference Voucher Observation ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Order: Apiales - Family: Apiaceae 29442 Angelica genuflexa kneeling angelica Present in Park 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 29432 Angelica lucida seacoast angelica Present in Park 12 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 29605 Bupleurum americanum American thorow wax Unconfirmed 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 525350 Bupleurum triradiatum ssp.

  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

  • Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Volume 2
    Appendix F Species List Appendix F: Species List F. Species List F.1 Lists The following list and three tables denote the bird, mammal, fish, and plant species known to occur in Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (Arctic Refuge, Refuge). F.1.1 Birds of Arctic Refuge A total of 201 bird species have been recorded on Arctic Refuge. This list describes their status and abundance. Many birds migrate outside of the Refuge in the winter, so unless otherwise noted, the information is for spring, summer, or fall. Bird names and taxonomic classification follow American Ornithologists' Union (1998). F.1.1.1 Definitions of classifications used Regions of the Refuge . Coastal Plain – The area between the coast and the Brooks Range. This area is sometimes split into coastal areas (lagoons, barrier islands, and Beaufort Sea) and inland areas (uplands near the foothills of the Brooks Range). Brooks Range – The mountains, valleys, and foothills north and south of the Continental Divide. South Side – The foothills, taiga, and boreal forest south of the Brooks Range. Status . Permanent Resident – Present throughout the year and breeds in the area. Summer Resident – Only present from May to September. Migrant – Travels through on the way to wintering or breeding areas. Breeder – Documented as a breeding species. Visitor – Present as a non-breeding species. * – Not documented. Abundance . Abundant – Very numerous in suitable habitats. Common – Very likely to be seen or heard in suitable habitats. Fairly Common – Numerous but not always present in suitable habitats. Uncommon – Occurs regularly but not always observed because of lower abundance or secretive behaviors.
