- Description:
- This data publication includes tree data acquired 32-years after an experiment was initiated (1986) on the University of Idaho Experimental Forest in northern Idaho, USA, to determine the outplanting effects of copper root pruning during container nursery production. We measured aboveground tree attributes (i.e., height, diameter breast height, canopy projection, and basal area of nearest neighbors) and excavated trees to measure root traits for the entire root system and the root cage, including number and volume and length by depth, quadrant, order, and type. We also investigated attributes of the root cage, including taproot taper, root diameter, patterns of growth ring eccentricity, and cross-sectional area.
