Record #128370:

Snow avalanches and vegetation pattern in Cascade Canyon, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, U.S.A. / Robin S. Patten, Dennis H. Knight.

Title: Snow avalanches and vegetation pattern in Cascade Canyon, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, U.S.A. / Robin S. Patten, Dennis H. Knight.
Author(s): Patten, Robin S.
Knight, Dennis H.
Date: 1994.
In: Arctic and Alpine Research. (1994.), Vol. 26(1) (1994)
Abstract: Study to determine how snow avalanches can influence both pattern and dyamics of mountain vegetation by examining canyon where complex vegetation mosaic sppears to be related to occurrence of snow avalanches. Analyses were made of impact of avalanches on three aspects of vegetation in canyon: community distributions, woody components of avalanche communities, and landscape patterns. Canyon's vegetation patterns seem quite stable; primary effect of avalanches is to fragment patterns rather than force dynamic changes.
