Abstract:

This data publication contains the data collected for a study that began in 1964, titled "Adaptability of knobcone x Monterey pine hybrids to lower-elevation, lower-quality forest sites in northwestern California". This experimental study of four tree planting test sites (East Fork Burn, Platina, Spring Gulch, and Tom Lang Gulch) was established in Siskiyou and Shasta Counties, California, on U.S. Bureau of Land Management lands. The quantitative data included in this package consist of tree survival, status, and size measured at all four sites in 1964, 1965, and 1966. These same data were also collected in 1973 for Spring Gulch and Tom Lang Gulch. Georegistered historical stem maps with digitized tree locations are also provided for Spring Gulch (1966) and Tom Lang Gulch (1965).
