Abstract:
This data publication includes data collected in support of a study to examine the small scale, within stand, spatially-referenced ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) tree mortality caused by the mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) in a Colorado Front Range site. Data were collected in the summer of 1997 in an unmanaged low-elevation 3.1-hectare ponderosa pine stand in the Canyon Lakes Ranger District of the Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forest. Spatially referenced basal area points were measured with a 20 basal area factor (BAF) prism in a 10 meter (m) x 10 m grid. For all “in” trees we recorded tree species, diameter at breast height (1.4 m above the ground), and whether the tree was alive of killed by mountain pine beetle. No trees had died to other causes within the study area.
