This dataset contains the matrix population models for a population of Frasera speciosa in the Elk Mountains of southwestern Colorado, for the years 1974-2007. Each matrix contains the probability of transitioning from a stage (the column headings) to another stage (the rows) from the starting year (given as the heading of the matrix) to the following year for individuals in the Frasera speciosa population. There are two dormant seed categories, a recruit or seedling category, and twelve leaf-number stages: 2 (1-2 leaves), 4 (3-4 leaves), 6 (5-6 leaves), 9 (7-10 leaves), 12 (11-14 leaves), 16 (15-17 leaves), 20 (18-22 leaves), 25 (23-27 leaves), 30 (28-32 leaves), 36 (33-38 leaves), 42 (39-45 leaves), or 49 (46-64 leaves).
