Zion National Park FFI Fire Effects Monitoring Data

Dodson E and Bunn W. 2016. Zion National Park FFI Fire Effects Monitoring Data

Fire effects monitoring data collected at Zion National Park in Southern Utah. The data were collected during the spring, summer and fall field seasons by the fire effects monitoring crew out of Zion National Park from 1995-2016. Data collected from shrub 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, 50 meter point intercept data, as well as all shrub transect methods for 50 meter transects. Data also includes Composite Burn Index (CBI) data for several prescribed fires and one wildfire within Zion National Park.
