  • dataset_eml_methodsStartDate: 1992-06-01
    
  • dataset_eml_methoddescription: An 8.8 ha population monitoring plot was established south of the summit of the mountain in 1992, where 5-30 m radius circles per forest type were used for point counts and habitat plots. This ranged in elevation from 1160-1200 m, in krummholz and spruce-fir forests. Measurements included species, frequency, sighting locations, habitat measurements.

  • dataset_eml_methodsStartDate: 1995-06-01
    
  • dataset_eml_methoddescription: Additional plots added in 1995: a 20 ha plot in Ranch Valley, and a 20 ha plot at a lower elevation in the Nose Dive Pod area. Elevation range expanded to 885-1200 m. 25 m grid sampling points used. Measurement include: population density, territory dispersion, sighting locations and movements of known-identity individuals, habitat measurements, survival and productivity and site fidelity.

  • dataset_eml_methoddescription: An additional plot was added in 1996: a 10 ha plot northeast of the Forehead, off the Long Trail in spruce-fir forest.
