The associated NCEI study type is Tree Ring. The data include parameters of tree ring with a geographic location of California, United States Of America. The time period coverage is from 216 to -70 in calendar years before present (BP). See metadata information for parameter and study location details. Please cite this study when using the data. Tree ring data from the International Tree Ring Data Bank and World Data Center for Paleoclimatology archives. Most data sets include raw treering measurements (most are annual ring width, with some collections of earlywood or latewood width or wood density), plus chronologies (standardized growth indices for a site compiled from multiple treering samples). Reconstructions of climate variables are included with some of these data sets. Each data type is stored in a separate data file; the data type is coded into the file name.

In this study, we investigated fuel loadings, forest structure, and tree growth to assess treatment legacies thirteen years after mastication, prescribed fire, and surface fuel pull-back from tree boles in Sierra Nevada mixed-conifer forest. An outbreak of bark beetles between 2011 and 2018 impacted all plots but burned treatments had lower overstory mortality relative to unburned treatments which experienced an 80 % decline in live tree biomass. Tree diameter, canopy density, and surface fuel loadings became similar across all treatments during the 13 year time period. Height to live crown remained elevated in burned treatments relative to the control but had lowered by an average of 1.9 ± 0.3 (SE) m across all treatments. Radial tree growth did not have a sustained response to treatment and was greater in burned treatments for only a single year, 2011, several years post-treatment. Prescribed fire decreased duff mass by 56 % relative to unburned treatments but did not affect forest floor bulk density. Downed woody fuel loadings (1-h – 1000-h) were similar across treatments. The invasive Bromus tectorum (cheatgrass) had uniformly high cover across treatments. Whereas treatments were largely ineffective at producing long-term reductions in surface fuel loadings, the enduring reductions in duff loadings and reduced overstory mortality support the long-term utility of prescribed fire. Cumulatively, our results highlight the potential for prescribed fire to reduce overstory mortality and duff loadings in dry mixed-conifer forests, thereby contributing more effectively to fire-resilient characteristics relative to other fuel reduction treatments.
