Abstract:

These data document vegetation structure (tree, shrub, and ground cover) and composition of trees and shrubs (in most cases, ground cover is differentiated by functional group but not by species) in canyons and nearby areas in two mountain ranges in the eastern Great Basin: the Sheeprock Mountains (Tooele County) and East Tintic Mountains (Tooele and Utah counties), Utah. Vegetation data were collected in 2016 and 2017 at 96 locations where annual point-counts of breeding birds were conducted. The year in which vegetation structure and composition was measured differed among locations; vegetation structure and composition were measured once at each location.
