Abstract:

This data publication includes data collected in support of a study to evaluate whether stand density reductions in ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) stands in the Black Hills National Forest of South Dakota and Wyoming resulted in reduced tree mortality levels caused by the mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) (Negron et al. 2017). Data were collected in the summer of 2014 in 21 pairs of commercially thinned and unthinned stands. Tree species, diameter at breast height, and tree condition were recorded.
