To help determine the effects of the prescribed burn on forage availability for moose, the Alaska Center for Conservation Science (ACCS) at University of Alaska Anchorage collaborated with Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF\u0026amp;G) to sample biomass of forage plant species available for moose in burned and unburned portions of the Alphabet Hills study area during July and August 2021. Subsequently, we created a set of vegetation maps to enable spatially explicit sampling of statistical distributions of available forage biomass around peak growing season for moose. The vegetation maps extend site-level biomass measurements across the entire landscape of the study area.

Don Spalinger was instrumental in developing the initial idea for mapping species-specific available forage biomass for moose in the Alphabet Hills. Kristin Denryter, Bill Collins, Katie Anderson, and Don Spalinger aided in the collection of field data. Katie Anderson processed dry mass samples collected from the field in the ADF\u0026amp;G Palmer Nutritional Lab. Numerous ecologists and technicians collected the field data necessary to create the \u003Cem\u003EContinuous Foliar Cover of Species and Aggregates in North American Beringia\u003C\/em\u003E. Lindsey Flagstad and Anjanette Steer provided comments on the map classification related to USNVC alliances. The standards that guided map development for this project were developed through the volunteer efforts of Alaska regional vegetation experts from federal, state, academic, and private organizations.\u003C\/p\u003E\n","url":"https:\/\/accscatalog.uaa.alaska.edu\/dataset\/forage-biomass-and-vegetation-maps-alphabet-hills","state":"Active","private":true,"revision_timestamp":"Fri, 10\/03\/2025 - 14:10","metadata_created":"Tue, 03\/07\/2023 - 11:49","metadata_modified":"Fri, 10\/03\/2025 - 14:10","creator_user_id":"d81d7a64-7e59-4e25-83b9-978a7a7aab2c","type":"Dataset","resources":[{"id":"204a1589-b45a-4e48-ae71-3865015c35e2","revision_id":"","url":"https:\/\/accscatalog.uaa.alaska.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/AlphabetHills_ForageBiomass_20230301.pdf","description":"\u003Cp\u003EThe user guide is a PDF document that provides an overview of methods and results, including the accuracy assessment, for the vegetation maps and forage biomass maps of the Alphabet Hills.\u003C\/p\u003E\n","format":"pdf","state":"Active","revision_timestamp":"Tue, 03\/07\/2023 - 11:51","name":"User Guide for Alphabet Hills Biomass Maps","mimetype":"application\/pdf","size":"4.92 MB","created":"Tue, 03\/07\/2023 - 11:51","resource_group_id":"","last_modified":"Date changed  Tue, 03\/07\/2023 - 11:51"},{"id":"71aed73a-76a8-4dd7-96ee-441a04d9b617","revision_id":"","url":"\u003Cdiv class=\u0022field field-name-field-link-remote-file field-type-file field-label-hidden\u0022\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\u0022field-items\u0022\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\u0022field-item even\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/accs.uaa.alaska.edu\/files\/AlphabetHills_ForageBiomass_v1_0.zip\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E","description":"\u003Cp\u003EThe data package contains .tif raster files for surficial features, vegetation pattern, existing vegetation type, and available forage biomass.
