Abstract

To gain more insights into the process influencing forest dynamics in Southern California, we have established the 4ha San Jacinto Forest Dynamics Plot (SJFDP) on the west slope of Mt. San Jacinto in Southern California. This area is adjacent to the University of California James Reserve and is in the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) Hall Canyon research natural area. This dataset include three files. Census data is data on every free-standing woody stem (live or dead) greater than 1cm in diameter which has identified to species, mapped, measured, and tagged for long-term monitoring. Seedling data includes data from 256 1m2 plots where every seedling woody stem less than 1m tall has been identified to species, mapped, measured, and tagged for long-term monitoring. Envrionmental data includes soil and topographic variables that were collected within each of 100 20x20m quadrats withint he SJFDP.
