| | ft2 of intact alpine tundra. This excludes the existing railroad line and the associated disturbed areas |
| | on the east side of the tracks. The following findings are based on NHB’s inventory and |
| | observations. State conservation ranks [S1-S5] indicate the relatively rarity of both species and |
| | natural communities. S1 indicates the rarest or most imperiled species and communities, while S5 |
| | are the most common and secure: |
| | Natural Communities Observed |
| | The alpine tundra system within the survey area was a mix of two different natural communities, |
| | sedge – rush – heath meadow (S1) and felsenmeer barren (S2).}} |
