Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve FFI Fire Effects Monitoring Data

Williamson N. 2013. Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve FFI Fire Effects Monitoring Data. Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, Colorado

Fire effects monitoring data collected at Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve in Intermountain Region. The data were collected during summer field seasons by the fire effects monitoring crew out of Rocky Mountain National Park from 1998-2009. Data collected from shrub and/or grass transects are 30 meter point intercept data to obtain relative and percent cover. Shrub density data is also measured using brush belts along the same transect. Photographs are taken from each end of the transect to document change. Data collected from 50 x 20 m forest plots include tree inventory to obtain density and basal area, fuel load using Brown's method for inventorying surface fuels and biomass, seedling density, as well as all shrub transect methods.
