Abstract:

This data publication comprises data collected from a nearly 40-year-old lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. var. latifolia Engelm.) provenance experiment in Fraser Experimental Forest (FEF) in Fraser, Colorado. It includes spatial location data from the 34 original provenance seed source sites, spanning from La Veta Pass, Colorado, through Wyoming, to Marias Pass, Montana. Data include diameter at breast height (DBH), height, and crown vigor observations collected from each of the 160 lodgepole pine trees sampled at FEF during the summers of 2022-2023. Data also include annual growth increment data, measured from tree cores collected at approximately 1 foot above ground as basal area increment (BAI), for each of the 160 trees sampled, covering the study period of 1992-2021.
