Tundra_Rare plants_Mingan_Abundance_Data

The tundra ecosystem is an indicator of the ecological integrity of the MANPRC. In total, 40 rare plant species are found in the tundra of the MANCPR. Rare plants have been selected as a measure of the tundra indicator. The objectives of the monitoring program are to detect changes over time in 1) the number of colonies of rare plants and 2) the abundance of focal species. To achieve these objectives, the monitoring program assesses: 1) the number of colonies for Anemone multifida var. multifida, Cerastium alpinum ssp. Lanatum, Cypripedium passerinum, Cystopteris montana, Diapensia lapponica, Draba aurea, Platanthera hookeri, Streptopus X oreopolus, and Woodsia glabella and 2) the abundance of Cypripedium passerinum. Surveys are conducted every five years.
