Abstract:
This data publication contains conditions of 26 campsites in forested sites in subalpine lake basins in the Eagle Cap Wilderness, Oregon. Campsites in this study were used primarily by backpackers and varied in usage level. Campsites were assessed in 1979, 1984, 1990, and 2005/2006 (campsites 1 and 2 were remeasured in 2011 and 2009, respectively). Basic campsite information, tree and seedling counts, tree damage, ground vegetation, duff, and species composition were measured on campsites and comparable control sites.
