Fire effects monitoring data collected at Bryce Canyon National Park in Southern Utah. The data were collected during summer and fall field seasons by the fire effects monitoring crew out of Zion National Park from 1989-2019. Two types of plot monitoring protocols are represented in this database--NPS Fire Monitoring Handbook (FMH, 2003) permanent plots and Utah Parks Group rapid assessment protocol (RAP) semi-permanent plots. Data collected from 50 x 20 m FMH forest plots include tree inventory to obtain density and basal area, fuel load using Brown's method for inventorying surface fuels and biomass, seedling tree density, shrub density, and herbaceous species cover and richness measured via 50 meter point intercept transects. In addition, post-fire assessments are conducted of burn severity to vegetation and substrates and scorch and char of trees. Photographs are taken from eight locations in the plot to document change. Data collected from 30 m FMH shrub plots include point intercept data to obtain percent cover and richness. 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 the 10 m radius RAP plots include tree inventory to obtain density and basal area, fuel load using Brown's method for inventorying surface fuels and biomass, and seedling tree density. In addition, post-fire assessments are conducted of burn severity to vegetation and substrates and scorch and char of trees. Photographs are taken from four locations in the plot to document change.
