Data Describing Changes in Aboveground Live Tree Carbon With and Without Restoration Treatments in Second-growth Coastal Redwood Forests
May 20, 2025
This dataset provides estimates of aboveground forest carbon for all live trees with diameter at breast height at or above 20 centimeters in 151 second-growth forest plots in Redwood National and State Parks. The dataset contains all existing field observations along with projections from the Forest Vegetation Simulator in five year increments from 2024 to 2064.

At Redwood National and State parks restoration efforts are underway to promote the recovery of forests following a history of intense logging. Unmanaged secondary forests at the parks have high stem density with slow stand development. Restoration thinning treatments of these stands are designed to promote the representation of redwood and improve the growth of residual trees...
