Kane Experimental Forest: Overstory tree data from a thinning study in Allegheny hardwoods

This data publication contains individual tree diameter data collected from 1972 to 2012 under the study plan 4110-FS-NE-1152-76 "Study Plan: Thinning study in Allegheny hardwoods" on the Kane Experimental Forest in Pennsylvania. This study provides data about tree growth and survival as affected by stand structure parameters and thinning regimes from 30% to 100% residual density.
To correlate growth and mortality by species and diameter class with relative density and structure in the residual stand.
