Tree demography records and last recorded fire dates from the Pinaleño Demography Project, Arizona USA

This data publication includes tree measurements taken from 2008-2013 across a gradient of forest types in the Pinaleño Mountains in southeastern Arizona, USA. Tree data include: species, pith date, and last recorded fire date. These data were collected as part of the USDA Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station (RMRS) Growth and Demography of Pinaleño High Elevation Forests research project.
Data were collected to document changes to forest-scale demographic patterns and effects from recent fires, insect outbreaks, and past land management policies and to characterize the precision and accuracy of aerial lidar.
These data correspond to tree species, establishment dates, and plot labels to support the methods and results of: O'Connor, Christoper D.; Falk, Donald A.; Lynch, Ann M.; Swetnam, Thomas W.; Wilcox, Craig P. 2016.
