The data and analyses presented here include: (1) planting density, survival and growth (two years post restoration) of riparian plantings along an ~11 km steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) salmon stream reach of Meadow Creek, Starkey Experimental Forest and Range of the USDA Forest Service in northeastern Oregon, USA (45˚12′ N, 118˚ 3′ W) as a function of elk (Cervus elaphus) and mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) herbivory treatment (protected/not protected from wild ungulate herbivory), habitat type, and planting species; and (2) abundance and height distributions of naturally occurring deciduous woody species along the restored stream reach two years post restoration. Survival and growth analyses are provided as output from multiple logistic and mixed effect regression models respectively. These data and analyses support the research article "Wild ungulate herbivory suppresses deciduous woody plant establishment following salmonid stream restoration" Averett et al. (2017) For. Ecol. Manage., 391:135-144.

    Data in Brief article describing: (1) sampling densities of plantings by species along the restored reach (Fig. 1); (2) survival analyses using multiple logistic and mixed effects logistic regression (Tables 1 and 2); (3) growth analyses using mixed effects regression (Tables 3 and 4); (4) abundance (presence/absence) of naturally occurring deciduous woody species along the restored stream reach two years following restoration (Fig. 2); and (5) height distributions of naturally occurring deciduous woody species for highly and less preferred (by elk and deer) species as well as percentage of individuals within those two categories subjected to intensive browsing pressure (Fig. 3). Corresponding datasets are provided within Supplementary file: MeadowCreekPlantingData.xlsx which provides the raw dataset used for: (1) survival analysis (worksheet, ‘Survival’); (2) growth analysis (worksheet, ‘Growth’); (3) abundance and height distributions of naturally occurring deciduous woody vegetation (worksheet, ‘Nat_Occ_Species’); and (4) counts of plantings by species for each riparian transect (worksheet, ‘Planting_Density’).

Data in Brief

Intended use

These data present survival and growth of woody riparian restoration plantings across two levels of wild ungulate herbivory and can be compared to other restoration planting studies. The data provide post-restoration abundance and heights of naturally occurring deciduous woody species that can be compared to riparian vegetation recovery in other studies. Future repeated measurements can be compared to this data to reveal long-term relationships between wild ungulate herbivory and woody riparian vegetation development. These data allow researchers to extend the analyses.
