說明
Populations of Dall sheep (Ovis dalli) have been declining in the Chugach Range, Alaska since the 1990s (Herreman, 2018; Lohuis et al., 2018), which these authors attributed at least in part to climate-driven changes in habitat. Past research suggests that fire can increase the carrying capacity of habitat for Dall sheep (see citations listed by Herreman, 2018). To learn more specifically how fire affects Dall sheep in the Kenai Mountains, we conducted a habitat use-availability study within and near the 2019 Swan Lake Fire Burn on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. This dataset includes occurrences of plants documented as part of this project.

研究區域描述 | This study area in the above-mentioned geographic coverage and the study extent described below consisted of hemlock forest, willow and alder scrub, alpine tundra, barren alpine areas, and patchy snowfields. |
研究設計描述 | Within the extent described in the above-mentioned geographic coverage and study area, we selected areas where elevation (in metres) + slope (in degrees) * 20 > 800, which excluded low elevation, level areas and selected high elevation, steeper areas (see Bowser, 2023). We selected random sites within the study area by dividing it into tessellating 74 ha hexagons, then randomly selected sampling sites within the hexagons. Details of sampling site selection are available from Bowser (2023). |

取樣方法
At each sampling site we followed the 100 m2 circular plot and point intercept protocols of Morton et al. (2006) with some additions: We estimated the percentage of each 100 m2 circular plot that had burned and we indicated whether each site had been chosen randomly or because Dall sheep had been observed using the site. We also photographed the plot from the ends of each 10 m transect toward plot center instead of the pair of photographs taken from south of plot center described by Morton et al. (2006).
研究範圍 | Our sampling area included a system of ridges where the Mystery Hills to Round Mountain made up its southern and western extent and the ridges immediately north and east of Dike Creek made up its northern and eastern extent. |

品質控管 | Data sheets were checked in the field to make sure that point intercept tallies were within acceptable bounds. After data were entered into spreadsheets, these data were checked using a Quarto script (Bowser, 2024a) and corrections were made. |
方法步驟描述:
- We hiked to pre-determined plot coordinates of both randomly-selected sites and feeding sites. At each plot we set a pin at plot center, then we stretched one tape from 10 m south of plot center to 10 m north of plot center and another tape from 10 m east of plot center to 10 m west of plot center. A 5.64 m radius, 100 m2 circular plot was marked by points at 4.36 m and 15.64 m along the tapes.
- Using a standard datasheet (Bowser and Canterbury, 2023), we recorded whether a plot was a randomly selected site or a site where Dall sheep use had been recently documented. The percentage of the 100 m2 circular plot that had been burned in the 2019 Swan Lake Fire was estimated by eye. Plot coordinates were documented by GPS averaging.
- We sampled vegetative cover within the first 2 m above ground using the modified point-intercept sampling technique described by Morton et al. (2006). Using an avalanche probe marked with 10 cm or 1 cm increments as a sampling pin, we proceeded along the right sides of tapes from 0 m to 20 m, skipping plot center at 10 m. We sampled at every 0.5 m interval for a total of 40 sampling points per tape and 80 points per plot. We further split each point into two strata: intercepts at 0 to 1 m above the ground surface and from 1 m to 2 m above the ground surface; potential intercepts above 2 m were ignored. Each plant taxon that touched the pin one or more times was recorded within each stratum at each point. Only one hit per stratum per point per taxon was recorded at each of the 80 sampling points. If no vegetation touched the sampling pin within stratum, then “no plants recorded” was tallied. Consequently, a minimum of 40 tallies were recorded per point and stratum. The number of tallies recorded could exceed this value considerably depending on species richness. We also recorded subrates at each point along the transects. Substrate categories were bare ground (including rocks < 13 mm in diameter or width), rock (> 13 mm in diameter or width), litter (including wood < 25 mm diameter), dead wood (> 25 mm diameter), water, snow/ice, ash/charcoal, and basal cover of live vegetation. Any live vegetation recorded as a substrate (as basal cover) was also recorded by species in the 0 to 1 m stratum. The total number of substrates recorded should always equal 40 per transect (80 per plot). From the ends of each transect we photographed the plot facing plot center.
- We recorded all vascular plant species within 5.64 m (horizontal distance) of the plot center as described by Morton et al. (2006).
- Plants that could not be identified with confidence in the field were collected and pressed for later examination. For identifications in the lab we used relevant keys and floras including Hultén (1968), Welsh (1974), Bayer (1993), Douglas et al. (1998), Collet (2002), Flora of North America Editorial Committee (2002), Bayer (2006), Skinner et al. (2012), and Murrell and Poindexter (2016).
- Data from data sheets were entered by hand into tabular format (Bowser et al., 2024), and these were reformatted to Darwin Core format using a Quarto script (Bowser, 2024b).
