During my project, I spent three weeks in Yosemite National Park collecting field data in the YFDP research plot. I collected mortality and new growth data in the old growth forest, and also saw much of the beauty of Yosemite National Park. Upon returning from our trip there, I entered all the data we collected into a database and began looking for trends. The summary of my work, and the trends I found, were compiled in a report and poster that I completed at the end of 491.
