Alaska Weed and Plant Distribution
Principal Investigator: Alan Batten
Institution: University of Alaska
Museum of the North
Project Starting Date: September 2004
Abstract: The purpose of this project is to expand the number of documented and digitized records for the plants of Alaska through a cooperative effort with the University of Alaska Museum and the USDA NRCS National Plant Data Center (NPDC). The records will be used to develop a distributional data set (both at the level of 1:250,000 quadrangles and boroughs) for the PLANTS Database. The first priority is to finish digitizing the specimens at the recognized Alaska herbaria of species considered noxious or invasive, the secondary objective is to digitize on specimen per taxon per 1:250,000.
