Eglin Air Force Base Ecological Monitoring Program

Abstract

In January 1999, the Alaska Natural Heritage Program (AKNHP) undertook a project to establish and characterize long-term vegetation monitoring plots (LTVMPs) on Elmendorf Air Force Base (EAFB), Alaska, under Contract Agreement No. DAMD 17-99-2-9004. The purpose of the project is to provide information necessary to monitor long-term changes and update the EAFB Integrated Natural Resource Management Plan (INRMP) as directed in AH 327064 and 32 CFR 190.7, 16 USC5CSCIl67Oa (Sikes Act). These documents require military installations to develop new, integrated, natural resource plans and make substantive revisions at least every five years. The current EAFB vegetation inventory is 15 years old and does not reflect current vegetation conditions.
