Investigating the persistence of a disjunct population of Alaska yellow-cedar in a historically frequent-fire landscape

This data publication includes mortality and regeneration data collected in 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2017 in 32 subplots (along 12 permanent transects) in and around the Alaska yellow-cedar (Callitropsis nootkatensis) grove in eastern Oregon. Field data were collected to evaluate fire-induced mortality and conifer regeneration following fire in 2006. Data from 2006 and 2007 include measurements of Callitropsis nootkatensis, but in 2008 and 2017 measurements were also included for additional species found in subplots. Shapefiles represent the spatial extent of the surveyed Alaska yellow-cedar grove and the location of the fire scar samples collected in 2017. Tree ring measurements obtained from Callitropsis nootkatensis and ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) fire scar samples are also provided.
Data were collected to meet the project objective: to investigate the persistence of a disjunct population of Alaska yellow-cedar in a historically frequent-fire landscape.
