Vegetation monitoring of the Alaska Highway Gas Pipeline Southern B.C. Prebuild was undertaken in 1982 and again in 1983. The study was unique in that the same quadrats were re-examined in the second year. This permitted an evaluation of the year-to-year changes in vegetative cover on both the 2- to 3-year old Foothills Pipeline (FHPL) right-of-way and also on an adjacent 22-year old Alberta Gas Trunk Line (AGTL) right-of-way. The data suggests that considerable vegetative perturbations are occurring on both.
