Length, area, vegetation types and expected disturbance level of proposed 2019 seismic trails in Arctic National Wildlife Refuge 1002 Area, Alaska

This table quantifies the length, area, vegetation types and expected disturbance level of the trails that would have been created by the proposed 2019 seismic exploration of the 1002 Area of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The estimates are based on a) vegetation maps of the Arctic NWR, b) USFWS studies of the impacts of seismic exploration in the 1002 Area of the Arctic NWR, and c) the proposal by SAExploration submitted to the US Bureau of Land Management: SAExploration. 2018. Marsh Creek 3D plan of operations winter seismic survey. Retrieved from https://eplanning.blm.gov/epl-front-office/projects/nepa/111085/153349/187888/Marsh_Creek_Plan_ This information was published in an article in Ecological Applications in 2020. The length and area estimates were included in the text, and the amounts in each vegetation type and expected area with different levels of disturbance were included in Table 3.

Ecological Applications本表格量化了拟议中的2019年北极国家野生动物保护区（Arctic National Wildlife Refuge）1002区域地震勘探计划所规划步道的长度、面积、植被类型及预期扰动等级。该估算基于以下三项来源：a) 北极国家野生动物保护区植被地图；b) 美国鱼类及野生动物管理局（USFWS，United States Fish and Wildlife Service）针对北极国家野生动物保护区1002区域地震勘探影响开展的研究；c) SAExploration公司提交给美国土地管理局（US Bureau of Land Management）的勘探方案：SAExploration. 2018. 《马什溪三维作业方案冬季地震勘探》，数据获取自：https://eplanning.blm.gov/epl-front-office/projects/nepa/111085/153349/187888/Marsh_Creek_Plan_。该信息发表于2020年《生态应用》（Ecological Applications）期刊的一篇文章中，其中步道长度与面积的估算结果见于正文，各植被类型的步道占比及不同扰动等级下的预期面积则详见表3。该文作者包括Raynolds, Martha K.、Janet C.
