• VT Biodiversity Project - Plant and Animal Species Atlas (0)

Description: This database contains town-level totals of documented species records for several plant and animal taxa including vascular plants, trees, bryophytes, ferns, fish, mammals, and reptiles & amphibians. Also contained are number of Black Bear kills by town for the years 1980-1996, and number of non-hunter Moose deaths by town for the years 1980-1997. A breeding bird atlas collected at finer resolution than town-level is included but was not summarized by town. Data were originally acquired from Vermont's Agency of Natural Resources (ANR), U.S. Forest Service, museum and herbarium collections, and other published or unpublished atlases.

Seymour in 1968. Bryophytes data were taken from Cyrus MacQueen's unpublished compilation of herbarium citations, "The Bryophytes of Vermont" (1991). Ferns data were taken from David Barrington's unpublished draft "Atlas of Vermont Pteridophytes" (1988). Occurrence records of trees species were obtained at sample plots surveyed during the 1983 Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) project for Vermont. Fish species records were collected at reference-level and moderately-impacted sites on wadeable streams by Rich Langdon and Doug Facey during the period 1984-1997. Furbearer tag records data was submitted by trappers in accordance with state regulations. Data for the period 1980-1998 were acquired from Kim Royer at the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources, Fish & Wildlife Department, Springfield Office. Town-level occurrence records of reptiles and amphibians (through 1998) were acquired from Jim Andrews (Middlebury College, Middlebury, Vermont). Museum citations of Vermont mammals data obtained from the Canegie Museum of Natural History were entered into a spreadsheet at the Department of Biology, Middlebury College, Middlebury, VT. Black Bear Harvest Data was acquired from Scott Darling, Vermont Department of Fish & Wildlife at the Agency of Natural Resources. Moose Mortality Data was acquired from Cedric Alexander, Vermont Department of Fish & Wildlife.
