Field Investigation of 'Rubus spectabilis' (Salmonberry), a Sensitive Species on the Idaho Panhandle National Forests

摘要

Rubus spectabilis (salmonberry) was rediscovered in 1991 on the Priest Lake Ranger District in northern Idaho after going undetected since its original documentation in the Priest Lake region by Piper in 1901. During the summers of 1991 and 1992 the Conservation Data Center (CDC) of the Idaho Department of Fish and Game conducted field surveys to find and document the extent of salmonberry populations on the Priest Lake Ranger District and to offer management strategies that will assure the long-term viability of its populations. Funding for this project was provided by Idaho Fish and Game and the Idaho Panhandle National Forests.
