Abstract

Seed supply is a key feature of tree population dynamics, and seed production may be indicative of environmental and biological drivers. This study examines cone production in upper-slope, true fir-hemlock forests of the Pacific Northwest, starting in 1959 to the present. Annual surveys of cone counts of Abies spp. (A. amabilis, A. concolor, A. grandis, A. lasiocarpa, A. magnifica, A. procera), Pinus spp. (P. engelmannii, P. lamberti, P. monticola), and Tsuga spp. (T mertsiana) have been conducted at sixty-one plots in 37 locations in nine national forests in Washington and Oregon (originally 10 national forests, but Mt. Baker and Snoqualimie were combined). At each site, a visual count is made of cone production in each of a number (20-30) trees in a stand of one tree species. At some plots, additional trees were added in the 1980s. Primary data include numbers of counts per tree per year, periodic measurements of tree diameter, and the names of the sites. These data illustrate the periodicity of cone production cycles, as well as longer trends associated with climate change and variability in the region.

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.

Method Steps

Field Methods - TV019
  • Cones are counted from the same location each year, except when conditions (e.g, vegetation growth) require moving the counting point, with binoculars or a zoom spotting scope on a tripod as needed to see cones clearly. Sometimes fog, back-lighting by a bright sky, or other conditions made counting more difficult and probably made counts less reliable. See the references below for more information. The people counting cones have varied over the course of this study. For several decades until 2016 a single observer conducted all counts. Since then, new observers have rotated in nearly annually, following training conducted by current study PI on the plots on and adjacent to the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest. Consistency in counting is likely reduced by observer turnover in recent years.

Sampling

Study Extent
  • Sampling frequency: annual
Sampling Description
  • Plots are located in the Cascades from near the California border in southern Oregon to near the Canadian border in northern Washington. They are all in upper-slope forests, i.e., in the Pacific Silver Fir Zone and the Mountain Hemlock Zone of Franklin and Dyrness (1973). Each plot has only one tree species. Plots have no delineated physical boundaries, but include the general vicinity of all cone count trees of one species. They range in approximate size from 1 ha to 20 ha. Several locales have more than one plot. Rarely trees of different species are intermixed in the same stand; in such cases plots with different numbers overlap. Cones are counted once each year in the late summer or early fall. Jerry Franklin initiated the study in the late 50's and early 60's. Most plots date from the early 60's. Many plots were discontinued in the late 70's and early 80's, primarily those that were east of the Cascade crest, for PIMO, ABGR, PIEN. Two ABAM plots on the Olympic National Forest were also dropped. Other plots were discontinued due to major wildfires or volcanic eruptions. See the references below for more information. In 2018 budget constraints required reducing the number of plots observed annually, with the focus on plots of TSME, ABAM and ABPR from central OR to northern WA.

    Moved database to SQL server
  • Version3 (2009-03-19)
    Updated data for 2004-2008 data. John Moreau entered data into an Excel spreadsheet. Ran QC. There is an issue with the primary key in SQL versus online metadata.
  • Version4 (2010-10-05)
    Updated data for 2009. John Moreau entered data into an Excel spreadsheet. Ran QC.
  • Version5 (2012-02-09)
    Updated conecount data (entity 2) for 2011 and deleted duplicated dead tree data. Data for 2010 was updated 2/18/2011.
  • Version6 (2013-08-06)
    Updated cone count data (entity 2) with 2012 data.
  • Version7 (2013-09-05)
    Restructured entities to include place_keyword plot (and other attributes). Cleaned up and ran QC. Uploaded to SQL. However, database is still restricted.
  • Version8 (2016-03-21)
    Updated cone count data (entity 2) with 2013-2015 data.
  • Version9 (2017-06-21)
    Change attributes stcode and format to dbcode and entity in all entities. Added state and national_forest to entity 4. Updated entity 2 with 2016 data.
  • Version10 (2019-04-18)
    Uploaded 2017 data collection and restructured entity 2.
  • Version11 (2019-06-25)
    Uploaded 2018 data collection (entity 2). Increased comment field to C100 to accommodate longer comments. Rebuilt SQL table structure.
  • Version12 (2019-09-12)
    Made corrections to the already uploaded 2018 data (entity 2) per Mark Schulze.
  • Version14 (2019-09-30)
    Uploaded 2019 data. Mark Schulze had added a few new attributes, so had to fill in old data appropriately.
  • Version16 (2023-03-24)
