Kenai National Wildlife Refuge: Dall sheep response to fire: vegetation surveys - 2023 survey data, CSV format

Populations of Dall sheep (Ovis dalli) have been declining in the Chugach Range, Alaska since the 1990s. Past research suggests that fire can increase the carrying capacity of habitat for Dall sheep. 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 vegetation data collected in 2023 as part of this project.
