Summary

This data release provides forest structure information including basal area and stem density by genus and mortality status for overstory and sapling trees in 149 plots in Whiskeytown National Recreation area in California, USA. The data includes forest structure measurements taken before and after the 2018 Carr Fire, a nearly 93,000 hectare wildfire. These data support the following publication: van Mantgem, P.J., Wright, M.C., Thorne, K.M., Beckmann, J., Buffington, K., Rankin, L.L., Colley, A., and Engber, E.A., 2024, Learning from a high-severity fire event—Conditions following the 2018 Carr Fire at Whiskeytown National Recreation Area: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2023–1053, 52 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20231053.
