Abstract:

This data publication contains tree density and biomass, shrub cover, and tree ring widths measured at the Blodgett Forest Research Station in the northern Sierra Nevada in California between 2001 and 2009. Plot treatments included mechanical, fire, mechanical followed by prescribed fire, and a control. Both pre- and post-treatment data are included. Specifically, the following plot-level data are included: 1) pre- and post-treatment (3 and 7 year) live tree density (in four size classes); 2) pre- and post-treatment (3 and 7 year) live tree biomass; 3) post-treatment (7 year) shrub cover; and 4) post-treatment (7 year) large snag. Tree ring widths from increment cores collected at each plot are also included.
