Tree-Ring Data Collected in 2017 and 2018 From Cottonwood Trees Along the Wind River in Wind River Indian Reservation, Wyoming
August 31, 2020
This dataset contains tree-ring data from plains cottonwood (Populus deltoides subsp. monilifera), narrowleaf cottonwood (Populus angustifolia) and their hybrids collected from floodplains within the Wind River Indian Reservation, Wyoming in 2017 and 2018. Samples were collected from trees at three sites: the Wind River upstream of Boysen Reservoir (latitude 43.127 N, longitude -108.232 W), the Wind River downstream of Diversion Dam (latitude 43.219 N, longitude -108.940 W) and Owl Creek near Arapaho Ranch, latitude 43.725 N, longitude -108.570 W. There are 3 files. Cottonwood_Wind_Tree_Data.csv contains descriptive information about each of the sampled trees, Cottonwood_Wind_Ring_Widths contains the tree-ring widths in Tucson format, and Cottonwod_Wind_READ_Me.txt duplicates some of the metadata in this metadata file in a format that is easy to read.

Cottonwoods, water, and people-Integrating analysis of tree rings with observations of elders from the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho Tribes of the Wind River Reservation, Wyoming
We assessed the history of flow and riparian ecosystem change along the Wind River using cottonwood tree-ring data, streamgage records, historical temperature and precipitation data, drought indices, and local observations and Traditional Ecological Knowledge from elders of the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho Tribes of the Wind River Reservation, Wyoming. This assessment identified...
