Description: The purpose of this long-term project is to monitor vegetation changes and trends in Fraser fir regeneration in spruce-fir forests in Great Smoky Mountains National Park in response to balsam wooly adelgid infestation and climate change. Vegetation data are collected once every ten years from thirty-seven permanent monitoring plots, stratified into four stand canopy composition types. Plots were established in 1989-1990, near the summits of five mountains, Clingmans Dome, Mount Collins, Mount Leconte, Mount Guyot, and Mount Sterling. Plots were originally sampled in 1990 and 1991. Note that all GPS locations were resampled during the 2010-2011 sample years.
