veg_field_note:
Nice fbwbp (birch, poplar woodland). Cinlat (grass) is a trace.


veg_field_note:
Random wander;plot moved 30m nnw of original location to avoid edge


veg_field_note:
Fobp call. Popbal, picgla & betpap all large timber size. All ribgla on line points should be changed to Ribtri. There is ribgla as a trace in plot though.Moose & bear scat in plot. Lots of animal trails. Not enough picgla for mixed forest call.


veg_field_note:
Random wander;plot moved into area w/ more trees;original plot treeless;herlan & matstr beginning to senesce


veg_field_note:
Random wander;entered in app on 2nd hitch as original spreadsheet file is MIA

veg_field_note:
Thickest willow plot ever. All salix1 hits should be salbar1. Change this.


veg_field_note:
Veg wander file. Definite bear activity - scat, holes, etc. 20% of astalp hits are oxytr 80% are hedalp.


veg_field_note:
Random wander;txc mislabeled els form as L155?


veg_field_note:
Some windthrow on plot of large timber popbal. Plot flooded this year. All fresh sediment with somepopbal seedlings. Some alder has been mowed down by ice. .


veg_field_note:
Nice fbcp. No cutpoint. Flooded in spring 2013.


veg_field_note:
Fbcp. Mix of pole & timber in plot but most is pole . size. Fl3ooded in 2013. Some pole size rafted trees laying in plot.


veg_field_note:
Large fresh chablis zone near plot center


veg_field_note:
Transition btwn mixed forest and picmar bog


veg_cutpoint_viereck_4:
Subarctic Lowland Graminoid–Herb Wet Meadow

veg_field_note:
Floristics a little behind at this plot, cicmac basal leaves only, scirpus with anthers just emerging, carsit with young inflorescence, calcan w/ no inflor.; many dead standing trees in area, likely beaver influenced wetland


veg_field_note:
Young cottonwood with some willow, slightly elevated sandy bar deposited recently, few large alnten in area,


veg_field_note:
Loamy soils, species rich - back water area?


veg_field_note:
Active gravelly bar, small patches of are sands and gravel intermixed with more vegetated areas; poplar saplings smaller size class, 0.3-100 cm tall


veg_field_note:
cutpoint is tall shrub; belt low shrub near forest margin but mappable unit likely tall; much browsing


veg_field_note:
if you counted overlapping hits of matstr you would likely have 310% cover of forms in this plot


veg_field_note:
Nice fmosb with very robust, thick and diverse shrub community (mix of tall & low shrub) in understory. The tall alder forms a nice closed strip (nly about 10-20m wide) in the open forested area.


veg_field_note:
wind throw in plot of picgla. obvious spring flooding &  sediment deposition. mixed woodland call (popbal/betpap/picgla) but would probably map as fmospb. Alot of matstr in the understory...just northof the plot is a dense matstr fern meadow with few tree


veg_field_note:
freshly flooded in sept. 2012; inactive overbank recently reactivated


veg_field_note:
small stand of large poplar, surface to west is lower in elevation, dominated by matstr and alder


veg_field_note:
Lots of balpop saplings - if they grew up this would be heavily forested.


veg_field_note:
Mixes of clearings with more shrub & then areas of thicker trees. Some clearings just outside of plot have early succession balpop (saplings)


veg_field_note:
Dense shrub w/ sct'd open patches w/ dead alnten


veg_field_note:
Popbal are o'topping;most betpap u'story sapling & browsed


veg_field_note:
Young closed alnten stand. Little species diversity. Tons of fresh bear tracks on island, but no tracks in plot.


veg_field_note:
Lovely dryas dwarf shrub plot. sddt but NOT tundra. Older bear & moose tracks in plot. Both saplings and pole-size popbal in plot. Moss in some parts of plot. Almost all litter is dryas . litter mixed in with live dryas. Soil is very dry. Deposition is only on dryas litter - not fresh leaves...suggesting it only flooded in spring 2013.


veg_field_note:
Fbop. Plot area is pretty variable & there is a circular more open shrubby area to the west (in middle) so we changed the plot size to 5X10 to take in more of the fbop. I was expecting more of closed-ish popbal pole stand but it is more open. There are a few timber-size popbal in plot but by far most is pole  sapling.


veg_field_note:
Chulitna River - near confluence with Susitna. All veg on edge of riverbank.


veg_field_note:
Barrens plot with a partially vegetated cutpoint. Obvious frequent flooding. 20% coarse frags (cobbles).


veg_field_note:
Stca. Animal trail (expressway) running through closed alder plot. Plot was recently flooded - sediment deposition.


veg_field_note:
Veg class Stoa. Cutpoint Hgmbs. Switch this in the els form. Also , a lot of dead standing alder.


veg_field_note:
Really nice fmcpws. Popbal is a mix of timber & lg timber size class. More timber though. Picgla is also a mix of timber & pole size.


veg_field_note:
Nice fmosp with thick understory of tall & low shrub. Windthrow on plot of both popbal & picgla. Also, some large dead down popbal on plot.


veg_field_note:
Fbop with cutpoint of fmosp. Looking in the distance outside our actual plot, there is more spruce & this would go to Fmosp. Overall, would probably be mapped as Fmosp. A lot of dead standing alder in plot. A fair bit of dead down popbal - not windthrow though.


veg_field_note:
Bogalicious bog! Moose trail runnimg thru plot (0.1 bare soil). Classic Low shrub forb sphagnum bog. Sloeb. Change on els form.


veg_field_note:
Nice hgwsmb. Species rich. Moose & calf crossing bog about 300m away.


veg_field_note:
Healthy fmosb. A fair bit of downed picgla & betpap - no windthrow though. Mosses growing on dead down trees. A tiny layer of sediment on some of the leaves.


veg_field_note:
fnobs. A few betpap scattered outside the plot. Not near enough for mixed forest type.


veg_field_note:
Std'ing dead alnten;more tall shrub to east,stoaw,hindsight should have centered plot there


veg_field_note:
Many fallen mature picgla in area;beetle killed?


veg_field_note:
A lot of dead standing alder. Stow w/ cutpoint of hgmbs. This is a better cutpoint than stoaw. Not much alder. Serious willow browsing in plot & moose beds & moose diarrhea seen.


veg_field_note:
Fmcpws. Some dead standing alder in plot. Also some dead down popbal.


veg_field_note:
Fbop. Fair bit of dead standing alder in plot -about 2%. Some dead down popbal.multiple drainage channels in plot. A lot of calcan in these. Lots of microtopo.


veg_field_note:
Fmwsp. Outside the plot there is a fair bit more picgla. Dead standing alder in plot. Picgla is slightly intermediate in height to popbal. 30% mounds in plot - mounds about 1m tall with predominantly rosaci/calcan on them. Cause of mounds ???


veg_field_note:
Std'ing dead alnten;much salbar1 browsed and below 1.5m


veg_field_note:
needleleaf borderline intermediate with broadleaf dominant


veg_field_note:
significant moose browse on willows, many moose pellets


veg_field_note:
odd, even-aged picgla; cabin ruins 100m toward t26_02 maybe explain


veg_field_note:
Open tall popbal shrub class (popbal is sapling size) - about 5-6ft in size on average. Some picgla in plot - mostly sapling size(about 6 ft). A bear dug a hole on plot. Bear tracks seen earlier near plot.


veg_field_note:
Nice Fmosp. Plot is more open than closed but on higher side of open. No flooding this year. 1 spruce tree fell due to windthrow. Most of the spruce is timber-size. Some lg timber spruce in plot.


veg_field_note:
Major tablet issues...see els app for veg notes.


veg_field_note:
Mislabeled, should be T27_05;Std'ing dead alnten


veg_field_note:
Odd microsites w/ hydrophytic veg;seasonally flooded?


veg_field_note:
small stand in narrow inactive channel, not mappable, sampled to describe soils and veg in these small channels common in this area


veg_field_note:
mature birch forest, picgla saplings common in understory


veg_field_note:
series of beaver dams one upstream, onevdown; just out of riverine physio; small stands of open tall alnten throughout this fen, this plot represents dominant veg type


veg_field_note:
spruce includes timber, as well as sapling and pole-size; many birch growing on root mounds from historic downed trees


veg_field_note:
forbs on steroids!! carutr is massive too!


veg_field_note:
betpap dwarf or not? see photos. signatures is more forby, camcuc - no betnan


veg_field_note:
fnwbs - high end of woodland. from imagery it looks more WOODLAND.


veg_cutpoint_viereck_4:
Open Low Shrub Birch-Ericaceous Shrub Bog


veg_field_note:
slobb with a cutpoint of open tall alder birch ericaceous


veg_field_note:
Low % spruce but still mixed forest for mapping


veg_field_note:
recently flooded - leaf & mineral soil deposition. wind took out trees a long time ago


veg_field_note:
Looks like old wind disturbance or JJ's pathogen theory?? A lot of old dead standing alder-snapped at top.


veg_field_note:
alnten snags and fallen popbal;prob blpw nest on plot


veg_field_note:
old tall alnten snags throughout;no scour marks on huge popbal's


veg_field_note:
popbal mostly on micro lows;micro high v. mossy


veg_field_note:
dead alnten snags ubiquitous on entire transect


veg_field_note:
mature fallen spruce grew in situ;also fallen popbal


veg_field_note:
Stoa. 5x10 plot near actual well site (128_3_W1). Needed to do a 5x10 to catch the stoa. We managed to find an area that wasn't too trampled. Just northeast of well site about 10-20m, veg class turns into more of a stca but well is on stoa.


veg_field_note:
Well 128_4_W1. Fbwp. Located plot about 50m from well. Some of the popbal has broken tops- some kind of wind event maybe? Despite being broken at top, it appears to be growing rather well - in a weird contorted manner.


veg_field_note:
Fbwp. Same veg type as T350_02. Well site 128_27


veg_field_note:
Sloa. Cutpoint hfmc. Here is a case where the general mapable area would he fbwp...but the plot and at least 1 acre seems much more sloa or hfmc. Well site 128_26. 5x10. Some popbal is outside of plot. is some willow but not enough for sloaw.


veg_field_note:
Plot paired w/ R2 well site ESGFA128-25; heavy sand deposition spring 2013. Plot in untrampled area 25m N of well site


veg_field_note:
R2 well site ESGFA128-24;Avian hotspot for songbird study;nowa,blpw,ocwa,wiwa (first seen by gvf on floodplain),vath,gcth,swth,bcch,fosp,hawo;much singing;double brooding?;merl family group on island


veg_field_note:
Well site ESGFA128-10MW2;plot near edge;woodland call considers mappable area;stake says FA104, typo?


veg_field_note:
Plot in the tributary. The source of the tributary is most likely a spring. The sedges & grass are quite thick. Veg class is hgw. HDR are mapping this for habitat purposed. We talked with them.


veg_field_note:
barrens plot - 50m from actual gps point. all plants are outside of plot.


veg_field_note:
Nice fbcp. picgla is small size, about 8m tall. When larger, I would call this a mixed fmcpws, so I gave this as the cutpoint. 60% of the popbal are timber size, 5% are pole.


veg_field_note:
lovely sweetgale meadow. slcg. clearly closed. moose trail through calcan/sedge drainage. pretty active channel & rich spp diversity


veg_field_note:
much long dead big alnten;bear dig on plot in herlan


veg_field_note:
poplar sapling-alder stand, borderline tall/low shrub


veg_field_note:
poplar pole-size variable, most of plot 5-20 cm dbh, while the rest of plot primarily upstream of plot center larger pole size/ smaller timber15-30 cm dbh


veg_field_note:
depauperate understory, dead standing is alnten, also many downed alnten


veg_field_note:
Mid-succession picgla stand on massive sand deposit, plot name should have "T" in front


veg_field_note:
Multi-aged picgla, self-regenerating stand, recent blow downs in area, gappy forest


veg_field_note:
This poplar stand ranges from woodland to open. with one large gap in center, standing dead is alnten


veg_field_note:
Litter is suspended in popbal due to flooding, trace litter on soil surface


veg_field_note:
Veg is poplar sapling-alder tall shrub, recent massive sand deposit


veg_field_note:
Species poor understory, standing dead is alnten, poplar catkins dihescent in two's and three's


veg_field_note:
Similar species as T42_04 but different proportions, higher productivity here due to grpund water differences and more recent floding here as indicated by buried O-horizon near soil surface?


veg_field_note:
Low open rose with cutpoint of open willow, pot in subtle channel, slightly concave


veg_field_note:
vegclass4 of sdbt. Most bearberry is 1m tall - not dwarf. Animal haven - def animals disturbance. Bear & moose scat & moose tracks. Outside of plot about 20m there is a lot more lichen (stere) & dryas- maybe reason for white signature on imagery??


veg_field_note:
Drainage. Stoaw..high end of open. The clearing south of point T01_03 looks to be stca. Could be stcaw. Not enough time to sample this unfortunately.


veg_viereck_4:
Subarctic Lowland Graminoid–Herb Wet Meadow

veg_field_note:
Wet sedge-forb in narrow channelized area, water in channel flow slowly


veg_field_note:
Early successional, shifting wetter vegetation, popbal saplings prominent in area; high moose activity - beds and trails and we observed young bull


veg_field_note:
betpap as adult overtopping, saplings, and seedlings


veg_field_note:
Sddt - but not tundra. Fix veg call? Nice dryas patch. Larger signature & less shrubby than T09_02. There is less live dryas & more dryas litterhere than at T09_02. Also a lot less bare soil. No obvious signs of recent flooding but some ice rafted rocks & small driftwood.


veg_field_note:
Very species rich, v-plot so only recorded about 80-85% of species


veg_field_note:
Fbwp. Plot in more of a poplar woodland (large timber size). Potential fbop cutpoint especially when thinking of mapping. Woodland is over an acre though. A few spruce around. Dead standing alders in plot. Similar plant community to T17_07 but less trees. No windthrow but some dead down large popbal.


veg_field_note:
Fbop. Large timber size popbal. Standing dead alder in plot. Some picgla outside of plot (in looking at a distance) but not enough for a mixed forest call.


veg_field_note:
Fbwp but on the higher end of woodland. No cutpoint. Dead standing alder & dead down alder in plot & some dead down popbal. Popbal is large timber size. Some picgla about 100m in distance but none near plot.


veg_field_note:
Hgmb. Cutpoint open low rose shrub (but no code for this?)


veg_field_note:
Popbal & most of picgla are large timber size. Both popbal & picgla are codominant. Nice fmosp. Some dead alder snags in plot.


veg_field_note:
5x10 plot. Stoa found alongside a tributary that HDR is mapping. Carutr & equpal border the tributary. The shrub is on the high end of open - there is enough open space for matst to be growing well. Just beside plot,there alot more matstr (6ft tall matstr) - this would go hfmc if the area is big enough to map. Very doubtful that the hfmc is big enough to take out.


veg_field_note:
borderline active/inactive channel deposit, sapling poplar


veg_field_note:
active channel deposit, flooding regime changed recently from active overbank


veg_field_note:
Map same as T42_02 (poplar sapling-alder tall shrub), but smaller size class and younger age class for alder and poplar


veg_field_note:
very similar to T42_05 with exception of picgla absent, and higher popbal cover; dead standing is popbal and alnten


veg_field_note:
Stca. Very closed. All alnten. Obviously gets flooded often.


veg_field_note:
Hfm -mainly just equisetum. We were rushed on this plot due to heli pickup.
