Reference conditions are influenced by the physical template and vary by forest type: A synthesis of Pinus ponderosa-dominated sites in the southwestern United States

•We reconstructed forest reference conditions on 33 sites (>0.8ha) in NM and AZ, USA.•Historical densities were best predicted by parent material and TEU classification.•Site moisture and species composition related to tree spatial patterns.•Denser stands contained more trees in groups and fewer...
