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.

本表格量化了拟于2019年开展的北极国家野生动物保护区（Arctic National Wildlife Refuge）1002区地震勘探项目所拟开辟步道的长度、面积、植被类型及预期扰动等级。本次估算基于三项核心依据：
a) 北极国家野生动物保护区植被图；
b) 美国鱼类及野生动物管理局（U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, USFWS）针对北极国家野生动物保护区1002区地震勘探影响的相关研究；
c) SAExploration公司提交给美国土地管理局（Bureau of Land Management, BLM）的作业方案：SAExploration. 2018. 《马什溪三维作业方案冬季地震勘探》，数据来源：https://eplanning.blm.gov/epl-front-office/projects/nepa/111085/153349/187888/Marsh_Creek_Plan_

该相关信息于2020年发表于《生态应用（Ecological Applications）》的一篇学术文章中。文中包含了步道长度与面积的估算结果，各植被类型对应的步道规模及不同扰动等级下的预期面积则详见表3。本文作者包括Martha K. Raynolds、Janet C. Jorgenson、M. Torre Jorgenson、Mikhail Kanevskiy、Anna K. Liljedahl、Matthew Nolan、Matthew Sturm与Donald A. Walker，该文章于2020年（付印中）刊载于《生态应用》。
