From 1982-1985, we developed a long-term study of input, storage, decomposition, and redistribution of large wood in Mack Creek. Each year from 1985 to the present, we have surveyed a 1.1 km section of this stream. This annual survey has allowed us to quantify the standing stocks and characteristics of large wood within the stream and floodplain of an old-growth forest and an older (ca. 1963) clear-cut. In addition, these data allow us to measure rates of input, fragmentation and movement. geomorphology ecology stream ecology debris flows floods biomass wind decomposition biological processes disturbance wood woody debris ecosystems aquatic ecosystems streams LTER controlled vocabulary ecosystem processes Andrews Experimental Forest site thesaurus disturbance LTER core research areas Field notebooks and datasheets stored in 264 Nash Hall, OSU. Includes original sketch maps ca. 1981-1984 from implementation phase of study. Tagging of wood and layout of the survey grid began in the summer of 1982. This process was quite time consuming, so the annual surveys did not begin until 1985. Tagging and grid layout were completed in 1986. In 1994, a road culvert between the clearcut and old-growth reaches was removed, along with much of the road fill used to support it. The culvert was replaced by a bridge. The gaging station is located less than 20 meters below the downstream end of the culvert, and was also redesigned to handle potentially higher discharges. The SITECODE "CT" refers to this culvert reach.

(541) 737-8480 lterweb@fsl.orst.edu http://andrewsforest.oregonstate.edu/ Field Methods - GS006 Each piece of wood greater than 10 cm in diameter and 1 m in length is tagged in 6 locations. Holes are drilled through the bark in each "corner" of the log and round numbered tags, with letters A, B, C, or D, are nailed into each recess. Two surface tags, one metal and the other plastic, are nailed (four nails per tag) on opposite sides of the log. Tag colors may be orange, blue or white. During the annual autumn resurvey, investigators search for all logs within the study section. The status of each piece is recorded; if the log is in the same reach, location and position as the previous year, other attributes are presumed to also be unchanged. Logs which have moved within the study grid have all attributes recorded. New input (from windthrow, snowthrow, or other mechanisms) are tagged (see above) and all attribute information recorded. Mid-elevation, third-order stream. Gradient of 8%- 15%. Lower 350 m is in portion clearcut in 1963, with stream gage and flume at the top of the reach. Upper 750 m is in 500 year-old old-growth stand dominated by Tsuga heterophylla (TSHE), Psuedotsuga menziesii (PSME), and Thuja plicata (THPL). Study area consists of stream channel plus adjacent floodplain, and encompasses a riparian reference stand (TV010), monumented channel cross- sections (GS002), stream discharge (HF004), water chemistry (CF002), and meteorology (MS001). Sampling frequency: Annual The study population consists of all pieces of wood in the stream channel and floodplain in the1.1 km study section. Only logs greater than 10 cm in diameter and 1 m in length are tagged initially (breakage may result in smaller pieces). Each piece of wood is receives 6 colored and numbered tags, and the following attributes described: location within the survey grid, longitudinal position, geomorphic location, log dimension, decay class, moss cover, origin, rood wad, channel angle, proportion of volume in wetted channel, active channel, and floodplain. The entire reach is re-inventoried annually in October. New or moved pieces are tagged and complete descriptions recorded.

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 GS00601 Tagged log inventory at Mack Creek, HJA: GS00601.csv 5217036 d3ba54e2d5c3fd8194374cb1391437e5 1 \r\n
