Description: In 1989, the Missouri Department of Conservation initiated a research project to examine the impacts of forest management practices on multiple ecosystem components. The Missouri Ozark Forest Ecosystem Project (MOFEP) is a landscape experiment comparing the impacts of even-aged management, uneven-aged management, and no harvesting on a wide array of ecosystem attributes. These three harvest treatments were replicated in three complete blocks on a total of nine sites in the Southeast Missouri Ozarks. Each study site is approximately 1,000 acres in extent. More than 50 scientists are participating in this coordinated ecosystem research project.

Description: Boundaries for each stand within each MOFEP site. It was digitized from USGS 1:24,000 topo maps in 1997. The original datum was NAD27. It was updated to NAD83 in the 2010s.
