During 1966, 1967, and 1968 extensive field investigations were
carried out in Mount Rainier National Park. These included continuous
research during the summer months, and weekend activities
during the winter months. Small mammals were trapped and
observed, and the larger mammals were observed exclusively. The
summer trapping consisted of two...
Ten high mountain ponds in Mount Rainier National Park, Washington State, were
studied from June through September 1992 to investigate the influences of fluctuating
pond volumes on zooplankton communities. A temporary pond of short wet phase
duration was inhabited by zooplankton taxa with short generation times and a crustacean
taxa...
An analysis was made of the recent catastrophic disturbance history of forests at Mount Rainier National Park. Basic data were tree ages from ring counts of increment cores taken from the early seral cohort, field mapping of age class boundaries and aerial photograph interpretation. Maps of present stand ages were...
Recreational impacts on the subalpine-alpine ecosystems of Mount Rainier National
Park have developed over the past century, and today pose a major problem for park
managers. Field data were collected during the summer of 1987 in the Paradise meadows
area in order to describe visitor impacts on social trails (trails...
Ambystoma macrodactylum (long-toed salamander) and A. gracile (northwestern salamander) are two common salamander species occupying key trophic positions in mountain ponds of Mount Rainier National Park. The objective of this research was to document and evaluate the distributions and abundances of the two species, relative to habitat characteristics of ponds...
In 1970 a phytosociological reconnaissance consisting of 135 plots in the Subalpine Meadow Zone was made. These samples were sorted using an association table and several Alpine Zone and very early seral communities were set aside, An additional hundred plots taken by M. J. Hamann were
incorporated with these and...
