Abstract:

This data publication contains tree and shrub measurements collected on the Stanislaus National Forest as part of a systematic timber inventory collected across a large mixed-conifer dominated landscape by the USDA Forest Service in 1911. Trees were tallied by species, diameter and height within 40 x 400 meter strips that spanned the center of quarter-quarter sections (QQs) delineated by the Public Land Survey System. Cover of shrubs and understory was determined using an ocular estimate.
