(541) 750-7333 theresa.valentine56@gmail.com Principal Investigator 2005-06-08 A Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is a digital data file containing an array of elevation information over a portion of the earth's surface. This array is developed using information extracted from digitized elevation contours from Primary Base Series (PBS) maps. FSTopo or PBS are 1:24,000 scale topographic maps. This dataset is a digital elevation model grid at a resolution of 10 meters by 10 meters. The data was originated from 1:24,000 scale topographic maps (primarily contours). The base data is in the form of an esri lattice file. Derived datasets include generated contours at 10, 25, and 50 meter intervals, degree slope, aspects, and a hillshade for topographic visualization. topography digital elevation model LTER controlled vocabulary A detailed description of USGS DEMs can be found at http://rockyweb.cr.usgs.gov/elevation/dpi_dem.html as well as a users guide at ftp://mapping.usgs.gov/pub/ti/DEM/demguide/dugdem.txt Data Use Agreement: The re-use of scientific data has the potential to greatly increase communication, collaboration and synthesis within and among disciplines, and thus is fostered, supported and encouraged.

Gridlattice command was used to process the DEMS. The DEM's were created from scanning contour maps of unknown time frame. Grid was clipped to an area around the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest. Processing Procedures - GI003 (1) GI00302: The contour tool from the 3D Analyst Toolbox (raster surface) was used to create a 10 meter contour using the 10 meter DEM (lat_10) Processing Procedures - GI003 (2) GI00303: The contour tool from the 3D Analyst Toolbox (raster surface) was used to create a 25 meter contour using the 10 meter DEM (lat_10) Processing Procedures - GI003 (3) GI00304: The contour tool from the 3D Analyst Toolbox (raster surface) was used to create a 50 meter contour using the 10 meter DEM (lat_10) Processing Procedures - GI003 (4) GI00305: slope generated using the slope command (percentrise) on the 10 meter DEM (lat_10). hjaslp_10 = slope(lat_10, 1, percentrise) Processing Procedures - GI003 (5) GI00306: TThe Grid function ASPECT was used on the HJA 10 meter DEM optained from USGS. Processing Procedures - GI003 (6) GI00307: The ESRI GRID function HILLSHADE was applied to the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest 10 meter DEM (obtained from the USFS Geometronics Service Center). THe azmuth was set for 345 degrees and the altitude was set for 65 degrees. Sherri L. Johnson

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.
