Description
A range survey on Kodiak Island grazing leases was conducted summers of 1995-96 to update management plans for areas grazed by cattle (Bos tarus) and bison (Bison bison). Ecological site (site) mapping and descriptions were updated, ecological status and grazing use was evaluated. Spatial data were acquired and summarized using Geographic Information System (GIS). New sites were developed for beaches and cliffs to facilitate ecosystem planning and enhance GIS capabilities.
