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. Data were provided by the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest research program, funded by the National Science Foundation's Long-Term Ecological Research Program (DEB 2025755), US Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station, and Oregon State University. National Science Foundation: DEB1440409 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. 1 FS11101 Conversion Factors for Forest Products: FS11101.csv 14218 2f93db2b2a4bd0fc4ae1d50d51df5160 1 \r\n column , " http://andlter.forestry.oregonstate.edu/ltermeta/ltersearch/dataaccess.aspx?docid=FS11101_v2.csv STCODE Study code char(5) Study code FORMAT Format number numeric(1,0) number 1.000000 natural 1.0000 1.0000 TRANS Transfer involved e.g., saw logs to lumber char(6) BK_HF bark to hog fuel & energy generation BK_M bark to miscellaneous BK_M&C bark to mulch and compost BW_HF building waste to energy generation BW_LF building waste to landfills B_BK bole to bark B_W bole to wood C_FB chips to fiberboard C_FU chips to fuel(particle board) C_HF chips to hog fuel and energy generation C_LF chips to landfills C_PB chips to particle board C_PP chips to paper products L_BS lumber to building structures L_BW lumber to building waste PL_C pulp logs to chips PP_HF paper products to hog fuels and energy generation PW_BS plywood to building structures PW_BW plywood to building waste SAW-PB sawlog to particle board SAW_PB sawlogs to particle board SD_HF sawdust to hog fuels and energy generation SD_M&C sawdust to mulch and compost SLW_C saw log waste to chips SLW_HF saw log waste to hog fuel SL_C sawlogs to chips SL_HF saw logs to hog fuel or burned waste SL_L sawlogs to dimensional lumber SL_SD saw logs to sawdust SL_WW saw logs to wood waste VLW_C veneer log waste to chips VLW_HF veneer log waste to hog fuels VL_C veneer logs to chips VL_HF veneer logs to hog fuel & energy generation VL_PW veneer logs to finished plywood VL_SL veneer logs to saw logs --veneers cores VL_VLW veneer logs to veneer log waste V_PB veneer to particle board W_FW wood to fuel wood W_M wood to miscellanous products W_P&T wood to poles & railroad ties W_PL wood to pulp logs W_SL wood to saw logs W_VL wood to veneer logs SL_SLW saw logs to saw log waste VLW_SL veneer log waste to saw log SPECIES Species for which the transfer was measured char(5) ABIES Abies ALRU Alnus rubra PISI Picea sitchensis PIPO Pinus ponderosa PSME Pseudotsuga menziesii THPL Thuja plicata TSHE Tsuga heterophylla DBHLOW Minimum diameter at breast height for transfer rate. numeric(3,0) centimeters 1.000000 natural 10.0000 55.0000 DBHHI Maximum diameter at breast height for transfer rate numeric(3,0) centimeters 1.000000 natural 25.0000 200.0000 TIMEMIN Start of the time period for transfer rate numeric(4,0) YYYY 1.000000 TIMEMAX End of the time period for transfer rate. numeric(4,0) YYYY 1.000000 LOCAT Location for transfer rate. states coded using postal service abbreviations. all other regional codes are defined. char(4) PNW Pacific Northwest CA California OR Oregon WA Washington USA United States of America RATE Transfer rate taken from the literature. numeric(5,1) percent 0.100000 real 0.1000 99.0000 RELY Reliability of the transfer rate char(1) H high reliability of source M moderate reliability of source L low reliability of source VL very low reliability of source REFNO Reference or literature source (key between entity and 2). numeric(3,0) number 1.000000 whole 0.0000 19.0000 NAME Initials of person adding the data char(3) Initials of person adding the data REC_DATE Date the information was added/changed in mm/dd/yy format char(8) Date the information was added/changed in mm/dd/yy format CALNOTE Notes on any calculations needed to tranform/process data text Notes on any calculations needed to tranform/process data NOTNULL FS11101.REC_DATE FS11101.FORMAT FS11101.LOCAT FS11101.NAME FS11101.RATE FS11101.REFNO FS11101.RELY FS11101.STCODE FS11101.TIMEMAX FS11101.TIMEMIN FS11101.TRANS 213 2 FS11102 References and Literature Sources: FS11102.csv 2728 7c81f34782b196a557181e5975adee41 1 \r\n column , " http://andlter.forestry.oregonstate.edu/ltermeta/ltersearch/dataaccess.aspx?docid=FS11102_v2.csv STCODE Study code char(5) Study code FORMAT Format number numeric(1,0) number 1.000000 natural 2.0000 2.0000 PTYPE Publication type (journal or book) char(1) B book reference J journal reference AUTHOR Publication authors varchar(80) Publication authors TITLE Publication title varchar(250) Publication title PUB_PLACE Publication place varchar(60) Publication place PUB_NAME Publication name varchar(60) Publication name PUB_YEAR Publication year numeric(4,0) YYYY 1.000000 VOL_ID Volume id (journals only) char(10) Volume id (journals only) ISSUE_ID Issue id (journals only) char(10) Issue id (journals only) PAGES Page numbers char(15) Page numbers REFNO Reference or literature source (key between entity and 2). numeric(3,0) number 1.000000 whole 1.0000 19.0000 NOTNULL FS11102.AUTHOR FS11102.FORMAT FS11102.PTYPE FS11102.PUB_YEAR FS11102.REFNO FS11102.STCODE FS11102.TITLE 16 centimeters; .01 meters percent; a number dimensionless number, i.e., ratio, count
