These tables include data from 25 long-term forest plots located in either Sequoia or Yosemite national park. Trees in these plots (established between 1982 and 2001) are censused annually for mortality and measured for diameter every 4 to 6 years. Plots were mostly 1 hectare (ha) in size (range 0.9 – 2.5 ha) and contained at least two 25 by 25 meter seedling sub-plots to monitor natural seedling recruitment. The largest plot, at 2.5 ha, included four such seedling sub-plots. Each sub-plot was divided into 5 by 5 meter quadrats. In almost all the plots these seedling sub-plots were established in 1999, but four plots (those with names starting with FF) were added to the study in 2002 and seedling data was only available...

Sequoia National Park, California. North side of Mount Hitchcock, viewed across Whitney Canyon. An unusually fine series of parallel avalanche chutes is shown here. These chutes have been formed across a system of vertical joint fractures in the granite; their positions are not determined by master joints extending parallel to their axes. The chutes all terminate at the upper limit of glacial action, below which the canyon wall is straight, although it is hackled in detail by glacial sculpturing. Circa 1935. Figure 49, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 504-A.

Sequoia National Park, California. A more perfect example of an Indian pit than photo mfe00680. The litter cleaned out of it contained a thin layer of rhyolitic ash and some charcoal near the bottom. 1925.

Sequoia National Park, California. Up East Lake with Mount Brewer group spurs on the right and Kings-Kern Divide in the distance. 1925. Photos mfe00743 and mfe00744 form a panorama.

Sequoia National Park, California. Fantastic glacial sculpture in massive exfoliating granite on the south side of Hamilton Lakes canyon. Circa 1935.

Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park. Lake at southwest base of Mt. Goddard, Sierra Nevada. At left the slope of Mt. Goddard. Across the lake a medial moraine, beyond which is another lake. Beyond the low saddles at right and in middle of view are glacial troughs descending toward the east and southeast. These have been truncated by the development of the trough containing the lakes. For lakes compare 2401 and 2402; for the head troughs compare 2411 and 2414. Fresno County, California. 1904. (Panorama with photo no. 2400).

Sequoia National Park, California. Glaciated knob at the head of South Fork Kaweah River. This knob was overridden by the earlier glaciers but not by those of the Wisconsin Stage, as is evident from the relative position of the older and younger moraines nearby. During the long period since it was glaciated, the knob weathered into jagged forms. Infiltration of water doubtless has been facilitated by the high angle of the jointed fractures and, as a consequence, disruption by frost has been particularly vigorous. Circa 1935. Figure 28, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 504-A.

Sequoia National Park, California. Chagoopa Plateau and Moraine Lake, viewed from the edge of Big Arroyo. The plateau and timbered benches on the far side of Big Arroyo are remnants of an erosion surface left after trenching of the canyon. Circa 1935. Figure 40, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 504-A.

Sequoia National Park, California. Junction of Crabtree Canyon (foreground) and Whitney Canyon (background). The sparsely jointed floor of Crabtree Canyon shows the effects of glacial quarrying. The intercanyon ridge in the middle distance has angular hackly forms produced by glacial quarrying in well-jointed granite. The Whitney Glacier spilled over the ridge and quarried its downstream side. The well-jointed canyon slopes in the background also exhibit the effects of glacial quarrying. 1935. Figure 47, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 504-A.

These snag (dead tree) fall data were collected as part of long term forest dynamics data. Tree fall data were collected non-systematically as text comments until 2013, after which explicit snag fall data were collected on an annual basis. This particular dataset includes data from 23 plots in old-growth mixed conifer and montane conifer forests in Sequoia-Kings Canyon and Yosemite National Parks. The plots range in size from 0.9 ha to 2.5 ha and were established from 1982 to 2001. We used demography plot data through 2021 (collected before the extensive KNP Complex wildfire burned many of the plots). Before 2021, four of the 23 plots had experienced relatively recent prescribed burns or wildfires. When established,...
