Methodology:

Methodology_Type: Lab
Methodology_Description:

We delineated the sampling frame in a GIS by using digital map layers and procedures that allowed polygons to be included in the frame if they were: 1) within park boundaries, 2) greater than 100 m (327 ft) above sea level, 3) less than a 50-degree slope, and 4) unglaciated. Elevation and slope attributes were derived from the National Elevation Dataset (1:24,000 scale) and park boundary (1:63,360) and glacier coverage (1:60,000) from the NPS ECOMAP efforts (ECOMAP 1993, Tande and Michaelson 2001). Following these protocols, nine 10-km x 10-km plots were randomly selected in Aniakchak National Monument and Preserve. In order to satisfy the goals of the current inventory, we modified the selection criteria to also include lands less than 100 m elevation.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

ANIA_original_sample_sitesAlb83: All 10-km X 10-km blocks that overlap the Southwest Alaska Network park boundaries were selected to create the sampling universe. Blocks were selected to ensure representative sample allocation based on aerial extent of ecological subsections across the park. Sample blocks were selected and exported as a new polygon shapefile.

Process_Date: Unknown

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

ANIA_sample_location_waypointsAlb83: Sampling point location data were collected as waypoints on handheld GPS units with horizontal error values ranging from 2.5 to 15 m. Waypoints were downloaded using DNR Garmin GPS software and added to ArcMap.

Process_Date: Unknown

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

ANIA_sampled_plotsAlb83: All 10-km X 10-km blocks that overlap the Southwest Alaska Network park boundaries were selected to create the sampling universe. Blocks represented in this shapefile are a subset of the sites actually sampled in Aniakchak National Monument and Preserve. Inclement weather, extensive snow cover at higher elevations, and steep terrain precluded visitation of certain plots, so adjacent plots were visited in their place. Due to these constraints, eight sample plots we surveyed instead of nine as originally intended; however, a "Spot Check" was completed at the 9th plot. Sample blocks were selected and exported as a new polygon shapefile.

Process_Date: Unknown

Process_Description:

ANIA_savage_site_checksAlb83: Locations in Aniakchak where site visits were conducted based on the presence of uncommon habitats or landforms. These locations reflect the input of Susan Savage of Alaska Peninsula and Becharof National Wildlife Refuge. Polygons were created by D. Ruthrauff using the 'Create New Feature' tool within the Editor function.
