Vegetation and soil cover data in response to indaziflam and imazapic herbicide applications within Minidoka National Wildlife Refuge, Idaho, USA

Description

Eighty-one monitoring plots within the Minidoka National Wildlife refuge on the Snake River Plain in south-central Idaho were surveyed in July-August from 2020 to 2023 to evaluate the effects of herbicides on the vegetation-community across areas that varied in both burn history and background cheatgrass abundance. Surveys consisted of line-point intercept measurements along two 6m or 50m transects with 100 points of observation per line. In spring of 2023 "escaped" cheatgrass individuals were counted in each 6x6m herbicide-treated plot.
