Sequoia foliage dieback data from Sequoia National Park
June 19, 2018
These datasets provide spatially-explicit estimates of the magnitude of giant sequoia foliage dieback along selected trail corridors in Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks, California, from 2014 through 2017. They additionally provide giant sequoia tree-ring measurements, through the year 1989, for two locations in the Giant Forest grove, Sequoia National Park, California.

Patterns and correlates of giant sequoia foliage dieback during California’s 2012–2016 hotter drought
Hotter droughts – droughts in which unusually high temperatures exacerbate the effects of low precipitation – are expected to increase in frequency and severity in coming decades, challenging scientists and managers to identify which parts of forested landscapes may be most vulnerable. In 2014, in the middle of California’s historically unprecedented 2012–2016 hotter drought, we noticed apparently
