Summary
This data release includes data and metadata containing (1) ʻōhiʻa (Metrosideros polymorpha) tree locations tested for Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death (ROD) at Keaukaha Military Reserve, Hilo, HI (2) out-planted ʻōhiʻa seedling information and survival status and (3) raw quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) results for all Ceratocystis lukuohia and huliohia testing. Data were used in the analysis for the manuscript "Successful restoration of Metrosideros polymorpha (ʻōhiʻa) is possible in forest sites with active Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death infections." ʻŌhiʻa seedlings were planted under ROD-infected and non-infected ʻōhiʻa trees and soil, and monitored for ROD for one year.

Data were collected to ascertain whether restoration is possible in ROD-affected areas. We addressed this question by testing soils for ROD-causing Ceratocystis DNA and viable spores, measuring the survivorship of the seedlings, and comparing mortality rates of ʻōhiʻa seedlings due to ROD versus competition from invasive plants and damage from ungulates.
