Abstract: A GPS receiver was used to acquire UTM coordinates and elevation for each plot center. Aspect and slope were also measured.
Location(s), Described: Watershed 1 permanent plots: 6, 14, 15, 22, 28, 41, 42, 44, 45, 46, 50, 60, 62, 66, 70, 74, 76, 80, 82, 90, 105.

Methods/Experimental Design: UTMs were attained using a Trimble Pro XRS receiver with antenna height extended to 3.15m. Slope was determined by pointing a clinometer from plot center toward the steepest downward slope and reading the degree of inclination. Aspect was determined by pointing a compass from plot center toward the steepest downward slope and reading the compass heading. Elevation was taken from the GPS files using GPS Pathfinder Office.
Sampling Frequency: July & August 2003, and January 2004.
Data Columns: Plot - Permanent plot number
