Accomplishments

A population is generally defined as occuring at least 1 km from another population, and a subpopulation is defined as a descrete occurence within 1 km of other subpopulations. According to this definition, Cup Lake Draba occurs in only two populations, at Saucer Lake and Cup Lake. However, because Cup Lake is outside of Tahoe Basin, it cannot be included in the threshold standard. The standard is to maintain a minimum of two Draba asterophora var. macrocarpa population sites.
