This Access database was developed as part of the 'Assess the Ecological and Cost Effectiveness of 14 Years of Sagebrush Restoration Treatments' Natural Resource Condition Assessment project that began in 2019. This is a DIMA (Database for Inventory, Monitoring, and Assessment) database from Jornada Experimental Range at University of Mexico. Raw data was compiled, cleaned and uploaded into the DIMA database through a CESU agreement with the University of Nevada, Reno, Stringham Rangeland Ecology lab. Common datasets include line point intercept, belt transect density measures (trees), herbaceous density quadrats, and canopy gap measurements following AIM sampling protocols (Assessment, Inventory and Monitoring, Herrick et. al. 2005 https://www.landscapetoolbox.org/methods-manuals/monitoring-manual-2nd-edition/) with some exceptions/changes.
