Historical conditions in mixed-conifer forests on the eastern slopes of the northern Oregon Cascade Range, USA

•Spatially extensive and intensive record of historical landscape-level variability.•Forests were predominantly low density, less than a quarter of current mean density.•Large trees (>53cm dbh) dominated basal area on 91% of sampled area.•Large trees were primarily ponderosa pine (>60%) and se...
