Publisher's Synopsis
In 2007 the Integrated Upland Monitoring program of SCPN began monitoring upland sites at PEFO with the installation of 10 plots in the Clayey Fan ecological site and 20 plots in the Sandy Loam ecological site. In 2008 and 2009, all 10 plots in the Clayey Fan ecological site were read, but only 10 of the 20 plots in the Sandy Loam ecological were read. The authors have sampled the quadrats and gap intercept transects annually for three years to determine the range of temporal variability for key metrics. In this report, the authors document monitoring activities in the 2009 field season and compare these data with the data collected in 2007 and 2008.
