This list includes scientific name, common name, relative abundance, general elevational distribution, habitat, and references for each species. populations taxonomy trophic structure old growth forests vertebrates amphibians reptiles LTER controlled vocabulary Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Andrews Experimental Forest site thesaurus populations LTER core research areas The following publication reviews the biology of amphibian and reptile fauna of older forest ecosystems and includes information on their distinguishing characteristics, behavior, and ecolgy. Herpetofaunal associations with forest characteristics and the impact of habitat loss are addressed. Blaustein, A.R., J.J. Beatty, D.H. Olson, and R.M. Storm. 1995. The Biology of Amphibians and Reptiles in Old-growth Forests in the Pacific Northwest. Gen. Tech. Rpt. PNW-GTR-337, USDA Forest Service, PNW Research Station, Portland, OR. 98 pp. Currently, the Andrews Forest list includes 13 species of amphibians and 7 species of reptiles. Western Pond Turtles (clemmys marmorata) have been seen near Blue River, but not in the Andrews Forest. While not especially rich in reptiles and amphibians, the Andrews supports large populations of those species common to the central Oregon Cascades. The Western Redback Salamander (Plethodon vehiculum), while common to the western Oregon Cascades, has not ever been found within the Andrews Forest. 8/14/1998 note: Bob Waide (LTER Network Office) noted that "Sorex yaquinae - yaquina shrew and Hyla regilla - pacific treefrog do not appear on U.S. Fish and Wildlife Checklists of vertebrates of North America. It may be that these species have synonyms or are listed under incorrect names. I would appreciate it if you could have someone at your site clarify these issues for me." Alternate names given to Bob Waide are Sorex pacificus for Sorex yaquinae, Pseudacris regilla for Hyla regilla Related FilesTitle: Photographs/ImagesDescription: Study photographsURL: https://andrewsforest.oregonstate.edu/data/studies/sa004/sa004pic.htm 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.

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 SA00401 Annotated Species List of Amphibians and Reptiles: SA00401.csv 1795 da225331c907ebda343b8b7b5abae7d4 1 \r\n column , " http://andlter.forestry.oregonstate.edu/ltermeta/ltersearch/dataaccess.aspx?docid=SA00401_v2.csv STCODE Study code char(5) Study code FORMAT Format number numeric(1,0) number 1.000000 natural 1.0000 1.0000 FAMILY Taxonomic category: family char(15) Taxonomic category: family GENUS Taxonomic category: genus char(15) Taxonomic category: genus SPECIES Taxonomic category: species char(15) Taxonomic category: species COMMONNAME Common name for species varchar(30) Common name for species DISTRIB Distribution by elevation class char(3) L Low elevation (300-800 meters) L-M Low-Mid elevations (300-1200 meters) L-H Low-High elevations (300-1600+ meters) H High elevations (above 1200 meters) PND_FREQ Frequency of detection in pond habitats char(1) A Abundant C Common U Uncommon R Rare STR_FREQ Frequency of detection in streams (in the water) char(1) A Abundant C Common U Uncommon R Rare MRG_FREQ Frequency of detection at stream margins (within exposed stream channel or splash zones) char(1) A Abundant C Common U Uncommon R Rare RIP_FREQ Frequency of detection in riparian areas char(1) A Abundant C Common U Uncommon R Rare UPL_FREQ Frequency of deteciton in upland habitats char(1) A Abundant C Common U Uncommon R Rare REFERENCE References citing presence of species char(10) 1 Bury, R.B. and P.S.
