The designated control areas and potentially suitable for experiences areas were identified in 1998. Quarry locations were updated in 2011. The data were gathered from a variety of source data (NW Forest Plan designations for Willamette National Forest, identification of sites from digital orthophotography, and from maps drawn by Andrews staff). land use fire management disturbance LTER controlled vocabulary experimental forests Andrews Experimental Forest site thesaurus disturbance LTER core research areas 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.

The data were entered into the Andrews SDE database and verified by site staff. The feature was exported into a shapefile. This layer includes campgrounds, shelters, and trailheads. Processing Procedures - GI008 (1) GI00802: In June 1993, the Willamette NF received a digital map from the Regional Office (R6) delineating Late-Successional Reserves and Adaptive Management Areas This map covered a 3 state area. The SO GIS shop clipped this map to the forest and province boundaries, making a "best fit" to our admininstrative, wilderness and subwatershed boundaries. This layer was then sent to the Ranger Districts for review and edits. District changes were incorporated in Fall 1993. This version was sent to the Regional Office for approval which it received in spring 1994. The layer then became the official representation of the Late Successional Reserves and Adaptive Management Area for the Willamette National Forest. The coverage was clipped to the HJ Andrews Boundary. Coverage was converted to a shapefile and projected to Nad83 Datum. Data was updated to match new harvest boundaries, 2014 Processing Procedures - GI008 (2) GI00803: Control Areas: Created by George Lienkaemper in 1997. No other information available. Coverage was converted to a shapefile and projected to Nad83 Datum. Data was updated to match new harvest unit boundaries in 2014. Processing Procedures - GI008 (3) GI00804: Potential Experiment Areas: Data for harvest units, control areas, late successional reserves, and salvage areas were removed from the Andrews watershed area. The areas not in any of the above were determined suitable for potential experiments. This process was redone in 2014 to match the new harvest unit boundaries. The harvest units were delineated based on the 2008 Lidar data. Processing Procedures - GI008 (4) GI00805: Quarry locations: Quarry locations were drawn on Andrews Experimental Forest base map. The locations were then on-screen digitized into an Arc/Info coverage. Coverage was converted to a shapefile and projected to Nad83 Datum. Data points were checked against Lidar and digital orthophotography for locations. Update occurred in March of 2014. 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.
