Data were provided by the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest research program, funded by the National Science Foundation's Long-Term Ecological Research Program (DEB 2025755), US Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station, and Oregon State University.

ABSTRACT:
	The goal of the study was to measure tree, shrub, and herb biomass and other parameters for stands of different ages that were unbiased by site selection. These data provide a baseline of information on the structure and composition of naturally regenerated PSME forests in the Western Cascades from which studies of succession and forest productivity changes over time can be made.
