SCPN Upland Vegetation herbaceous, shrub and tree vegetation and soils 2007-2024 Data Package
This data package includes data that were between 2007 and 2024 as part of the Southern Colorado Plateau Network's long-term integrated upland monitoring protocol in 10 national park units (AZRU, BAND, CHCU, GLCA, GRCA, MEVE, PEFO, PETR, WACA, WUPA) and 17 distinct ecological sites. Cover class, percent cover (based on cover class midpoints) and nested frequency of plant species and lifeform (functional) groups, cover of soil surface features, count of seedlings by species and size class, count of saplings by species and size class and status and diameter of overstory trees, soil stability ratings, soil texture and depth. Reports and subsequent analyses can be found in Cross References.
