Abstract:

A set of thinning and fuel reduction treatments were implemented in 2013-2015 as part of the Lookout Mountain Study in Pringle Falls Experimental Forest, Oregon. These data were collected post-treatment implementation in 2014-2016 to investigate the short-term response of bark beetle populations to the treatments. During a complete census of dead and dying trees, measurements recorded include tree species; diameter at breast height; diameter size class; cause of death; crown class; presence/absence of: red turpentine beetle (Dendroctonus valens), woodpeckers, and secondary infestation of beetles; burn severity at two heights; and coordinates.
