About Data: The Utah Forest Dynamics Plot is a research and educational project affiliated with Utah State University and the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station. The UFDP is located in Cedar Breaks National Monument. It lies in high elevation, spruce-fir forests with a considerable pine and aspen component. The plot size is 13.2 ha. The Utah Forest Dyanamics Plot, together with two companion plots, the Yosemite Forest Dynamics Plot and the Wind River Forest Dynamics Plot, allows us to examine late successional forest dynamics over much of the West. All trees >= 1 cm at breast height (1.37 m) are mapped. Summary information can be found at http://ufdp.org.
