Zion National Park Seed and Plant Collection, Utah (zion_plantcol)

These datasets consist of seed collection sites of targeted species in Zion NP, Cedar Breaks NM, and Pipe Spring NM, respectively. No designated size-dimensions of collection sites have been determined, but rather, these sites represent significantly-sized areas where productive seed amounts can be collected. Collection sites are prioritized into zones where the most restoration work is needed (therefore requiring more seed for revegetation purposes). In Zion, all 291 points were taken within park boundaries, with the exception of two species that are collected along State Highway 9 near Coal Pits Wash. All Cedar Breaks points are taken within Monument boundaries, and Pipe Spring documentation consists partly of points taken within the Monument, and partly of points taken along AZ Highway 59 west of the Kaibab-Paiute tribal Reservation), of many species that are collected there for restoration within PISP boundaries. In 2005, points were taken between May and November 2005.
