Abstract:

This data publication documents the stand structure and canopy fuels loadings of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) stands 21-28 years after a mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) epidemic in the Deschutes National Forest, Oregon. Measured stands covered a range of infection severity by lodgepole pine dwarf mistletoe (Arceuthobium americanum) from no dwarf mistletoe infection to severe dwarf mistletoe infection. Overstory tree attributes were measured at 39 75x10-meter belt transects nested within 13 stands during the summer of 2012. Tree attributes were used to calculate plot-level canopy fuels loadings.
