Abstract:

This data publication includes raw tree ring width measurements (1980 - 2016) for 1405 trees included in an analysis of forest management effects on drought resistance and resilience in 24 mature stands in western Oregon, and absolute benefit scores across nine management objective metrics for 18 mature stands in western Oregon. The 18 stands included in the absolute benefit scores are a subset of those measured for the tree ring data, and represent unmanaged, thinned and retention harvest management conditions.
