The reference state has one documented plant community that is thought to both pond and flood. Fire is thought to be a disturbance regime that influences references state plant communities but this disturbance regime went undocumented during field work.
This report provides baseline vegetation inventory data for the ecological site. More data collection is needed to provide further information about existing plant communities and the disturbance regimes that would result in transitions from one community to another. The common and scientific plant names are from the USDA PLANTS database. All community phases in this report are characterized using the Alaska Vegetation Classification (Viereck et al. 1992).
