**2. Cores taken as part of our annual mortality census in 2016 and 2017.** The census is described in [Gonzalez-Akre et al. (2015)](https://esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/ecs2.1595). All trees found dead in 2016 and 2017 were cored at breast height and their base except in areas where extreme rot or other hazards prevented boring or resulted in a very poor quality core. In 2016, 230 total cores were measured using the Velmex system, their ring data saved in Tucson format, and the physical cores stored. In 2017, 286 total cores were measured using the WinDENDRO system, their scans saved in high resolution, their ring data saved in both WinDENDRO and Tucson format, and the physical cores stored.

**3. Cores collected by Cameron Dow in 2023 growing season**

## Species

As of 2018, we have final chronologies for 14 canopy species, including the top 12 contributors to ANPP_stem (all species contributing >1% of ANPP_stem). We have cores for other species for which we not yet developed chronologies because of insufficient sample size and/or the difficult nature of working with cores from the species.
