Abstract

To examine vegetation development on landslides by sampling a chronosequence of landslides 6-28 years old; to determine species that successfully revegetate landslides, and determine whether species composition changes with landslide age.

Study Area Description
  • H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest
    The Andrews Forest is situated in the western Cascade Range of Oregon, and covers the entire 15,800-acre (6400-ha) drainage basin of Lookout Creek. Elevation ranges from 1350 to 5340 feet (410 to 1630 m). Broadly representative of the rugged mountainous landscape of the Pacific Northwest, the Andrews Forest contains excellent examples of the region's conifer forests and associated wildlife and stream ecosystems. These forests are among the tallest and most productive in the world, with tree heights of often greater than 250 ft (75 m). Streams are steep, cold and clean, providing habitat for numerous aquatic organisms.

Purpose: To examine vegetation development on landslides by sampling a chronosequence of landslides 6-28 years old; to determine species that successfully revegetate landslides, and determine whether species composition changes with landslide age.

Methods

Method Steps

Field Methods - GV002
  • Ocular estimate of each species cover for whole plot.

Sampling

Study Extent
  • All plots on landslide scars and deposits, on all aspects, slopes 50-173%, elevation 1500-3600 ft, on clearcut sites, undisturbed forest sites, roadcuts and roadfills. Landslides occured between 1953 and 1975.
Sampling Description
  • Twenty 4.5 mi-acre were plots established in a grid pattern across each lankslide surface (fewer if landslide too small to fit 20 plots). Plots are circular.
