Abstract:

The Harvey Monroe Hall Research Natural Area (HMHRNA), located in the Inyo National Forest in California, was established in 1933. In 1993, vegetation surveys were used to monitor human impacts on trails using the Limits of Acceptable Change (LAC) protocol. This data publication contains plant inventories and notes regarding trail impacts along 6 transects bisecting trails across 3 drainages in the HMHRNA. Also included are photographs of transect start points, end points, and an overview of each transect. These data were intended to provide a baseline for future comparisons to determine whether human impacts have been increasing, decreasing, or staying the same.
