Location: Data were recorded at 6 six sites in Gunnison County in western Colorado, United States. Sites 05, 15, 19, and 26 are located in the South Beaver Creek watershed, while sites 01 and 02 are located in the Cebolla Creek watershed. All sites are in the Gunnison River Basin within the Colorado River Basin and are on land owned and maintained by the United States Bureau of Land Management, at the time of the study.

Description

Astragalus microcymbus, the skiff milkvetch, is a perennial forb endemic to Gunnison and Saguache counties in Colorado, United States. In 1995 Denver Botanic Gardens scientists began monitoring individual A. microcymbus plants to track longevity and reproductive rates, ultimately recording plant length, reproductive condition, life stage, and herbivory damage on an annual basis. This resource provides occurrence and measurement data in the form of a sampling event dataset.
