Summary

These data were compiled to assess potential impacts of altered operations of Glen Canyon Dam on riparian plant resources. Objective(s) of our study were to quantify potential responses of specific vegetation metrics. These data represent predicted changes in vegetation metrics based on the data in the Interim Guidelines and LTEMP_SEIS folders. These data were collected in Grand Canyon and Glen Canyon below the dam from 2014-2019. These data were collected by USGS SBSC scientists through ground-based vegetation surveys. These data can be used to predict responses of vegetation metrics only to the specific alterations to dam operations that were simulated.

Purpose

The purpose of these data are to predict vegetation responses to altered dam operations. These data were created to quantify potential responses of specific vegetation metrics to specific changes to dam operations. These data should only be used to infer potential responses to the specific alterations to dam operations that were simulated here.
