Tree mortality in Sequoia National Park from 2004 to 2007 and during severe drought in 2014 to 2017

These data describe tree mortality and the factors associated with tree mortality for a variety of plots in Sequoia National Park. Most of the data were collected between 2014 and 2017 (during an extremely severe drought), along with some comparison data from 2004 to 2007. These data support the following publication: Stephenson, N.L., Das, A.J., Ampersee, N.J., Bulaon, B.M., and Yee, J.L., In review. Which trees die during drought?

本数据集记录了红杉国家公园（Sequoia National Park）内多个监测样地的树木死亡状况及其关联影响因子。绝大多数数据采集于2014年至2017年，时值一场极端严重的干旱时期，同时辅以2004年至2007年的对照数据集。本数据集支撑以下研究成果：Stephenson, N.L.、Das, A.J.、Ampersee, N.J.、Bulaon, B.M. 与 Yee, J.L. 撰写的《干旱期间哪些树木会死亡？昆虫宿主选择的关键作用》目前处于审稿阶段，该论文将刊载于《Journal of Ecology》。
