Abstract

This data set is used to document the changes in external characteristics, density, nutrient content, and form of carbon associated with various decay classes and ages of logs and snags. The pieces that have been dated form the basis for a chronosequence. All the pieces sampled are used to define the characteristics of decay classes. These classes are used in turn to convert the external dimension data in TD012 to estimates of mass and nutrient stores.

Abstract
  • The H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest is a living laboratory that provides unparalleled opportunities for the study of forest and stream ecosystems in the central Cascade Range of Oregon. Since 1980, as a part of the National Science Foundation Long Term Ecological Research (NSF-LTER) program, the Andrews Experimental Forest has become a leader in the analysis of forest and stream ecosystem dynamics.
  • Long-term field experiments and measurement programs have focused on climate dynamics, streamflow, water quality, and vegetation succession. Currently researchers are working to develop concepts and tools needed to predict effects of natural disturbance, land use, and climate change on ecosystem structure, function, and species composition.
  • The Andrews Experimental Forest is administered cooperatively by the USDA Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station, Oregon State University and the Willamette National Forest. Funding for the research program comes from the National Science Foundation (NSF), US Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station, Oregon State University, and other sources.

Study Area Description
  • Long-Term Ecological Research
    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.

Study Description

This data set is used to document the changes in external characteristics, density, nutrient content, and form of carbon associated with various decay classes and ages of logs and snags. The pieces that have been dated form the basis for a chronosequence. All the pieces sampled are used to define the characteristics of decay classes. These classes are used in turn to convert the external dimension data in TD012 to estimates of mass and nutrient stores. Field Methods - TD022

Methods

Method Steps

Field Methods - TD022
  • Once logs had been selected for sampling, they were marked with an aluminum tag and their location was plotted on a rough sketch map. This allowed us to resample many of these logs and apply the decomposition vector method to narrow uncertainties about decomposition rates.
  • Dates of tree death or cutting were taken from fall scars and or living stumps (Harmon et al. 1986). In the case of logs added by harvest or thinning, we corroborated these dates by aging living stumps within the unit sampled. Fall scars and the upper portions of living stumps were removed with a chainsaw and air-dried. These cut surfaces were then sanded with fine grit sandpaper and examined under a binocular microscope at 10-X magnification. Rings formed after the scars were counted twice and if the counts differed were counted a third time.
  • For each log sampled we noted key characteristics that could be used to define a decay class system. Physical characteristics recorded included: the presence of leaves, twigs, branches, bark cover on branches and boles, sloughing of wood, collapsing and spreading of the log (indicating the transition from round to elliptic form), degree of soil contact, friability or crushability of wood, color of wood, and if the branch stubs could be moved (Harmon et al 1987). Biological indicators such as moss cover, fungal fruiting bodies, or presence of insect galleries were also noted although past experience shows they are too variable at a local scale to be useful in separating decay classes (Harmon et al 1989).
  • To determine rates of decomposition we determined the remaining mass of each log. Current mass remaining was determined from the current density and volume of the log. The current volume was determined by measuring the length and diameter systematically along the bole from the base to the top as well as the locations where cross-sections were removed. For each log segment defined by the end diameters or the cross-sections, we calculated the volume as a frustum of a cone (Harmon et al 1989).
  • The current density of the wood and bark was determined by removing cross-sections along the length of each log. For sound trees we removed 3 to 4 cross-sections. In the case of extremely decomposed or very short logs, only 2 cross-sections were removed. For each cross-section the diameter, mean longitudinal thickness, circumference covered by bark, radial thickness of bark and mean radial depth of decay were recorded. Diameters were usually measured using a diameter tape, however, in the case of extremely old logs the cross-sections were too decomposed to be measured with this method. We therefore excavated very decayed cross-sections and used a ruler to measure the long and short axes of the cross-section from the remaining portions of the log. The total mass of the bark and wood for each cross-section was weighed on a portable electronic scale with a range of 1 to 6000 g (Ohaus Model CT6000), and then 50-200 g subsamples were removed to determine the moisture content. When cross-sections had a range of decay or moisture conditions, we took samples from the different areas in rough proportion to the area in each condition. These samples were weighed and then dried in an oven at 55 C until their mass was stable (usually 7 to 14 days). Total dry weight was calculated as the fraction of dry material in the subsamples multiplied by the total wet weight. The volume of the bark or wood was determined from the dimensional data recorded. Current density of bark or wood was calculated as the dry weight divided by the volume of the cross-section. The overall cross-sectional density was calculated similarly, but using the total dry weight and volume. The weighted mean density for each log was calculated. The densities from each cross-section in a log were weighted by their cross-sectional area, so that the smaller, upper cross-sections contributed less to the log average than the larger, lower cross-sections.

  • Sampling frequency: annually
Sampling Description
  • The chronosequence approach was used to determine decomposition rates from logs in which the sampling occurred only once. In a chronosequence one ages many pieces in various states of decay and examines how a parameter such as density changes through time. This is a substitution of space for time, and while not as precise as a time series experiment (where individual pieces are followed through time) it provides a good first approximation of decomposition rates (Harmon et al. 1998).
  • For logs sampled using the chronosequence and/or decomposition vector methods individual logs were selected to represent as many ages or decay stages as possible. For decay classes we sought to have at least 3 replicates of each decay class. For chronosequences we also sought to have at least 3 replicates of each decay class, although to represent as even a distribution in ages as possible, some decay classes had more replicates. Logs were created from a range of processes, although for chronosequences we avoided the use of logs generated from snag fall. In the case of logs left as a result of harvest or thinning, we examined the state of decay to make sure it roughly corresponded to the time left on the ground. Pieces that were either too decayed or too sound were not used as they might have been added at a time other than the activity date noted in the records. Trees adjacent to logs that resulted from natural mortality were examined for the presence of scars that may have been created when the log fell. In the case of logs in very advanced stages of decomposition it was often impossible to find a tree fall scar or any other means to date the time of death. Priority was given to very decayed logs with the possibility of dating the time of death, however, some logs were selected without dates. To estimate the initial density of dead trees, we sampled a limited number of freshly killed, standing dead trees. For the most part these trees still had needles attached and it was likely that they died in the past year.

Description

  • An update history is logged and maintained with each new version of every dataset.

Change History

  • Version2 (1990-01-01)
    Original metadata creation
  • Version1 (2007-08-14)
    The data were started to be collected in 1982. The current files were started in 1990 as part of an effort to make collection of this type of data systematic. The abstract will need to be updated as new sites are added to the files.
  • Version3 (2007-08-14)
    Moved database to SQL server
  • Version4 (2007-10-09)
    Removed data access restriction per request of metadata contact person.
  • Version7 (2018-09-20)
    Updated all entities in database. Created sampledate out of year, month, day. Created place domain out of enumberated stand. Cannot make plot (freetex) a place domain because it is a mix of places and numbers. There were also null values. Created new plot codes by including stand with an underscore for the numbered plots, using stand where null, and leaving the actual place named plots alone. Created taxonomic domain out of enumerated species. Ran QC, recreated data structures and appended modified data. Removed entity 5 from online because there is no data. Created an entity 9, offline, to store old enumerations.
