(541) 737-8480 lterweb@fsl.orst.edu http://andrewsforest.oregonstate.edu/ Field Methods - SA010 During the initial ascent of the trunk the diameter and inclination of the trunk were measured at 5 m intervals and the location of each branch system was recorded. Rectangular quadrats, 10 x 25 cm, placed at height intervals of 5 m and at locations 45 degrees and 135 degrees around the trunk on either side of the climbing path, were used in estimating epiphyte cover on the trunk. All of the epiphytes, except crustose lichens, were harvested from a subset of these quadrats, then sorted and weighed. Biomass of epiphytes on branch systems was initially estimated from information gathered by the climbers, relating to surface area (diameter, length of axes, branch system area, etc.) and cover of epiphytes on each branch system (Denison et al., 1972; Pike et al., 1972). A detailed examination of 5 or 6 branch systems chosen by an unequal probability sampling scheme (Hartley, 1966), favoring sampling branch systems with abundant epiphytes and resulting in a sample distributed vertically through the canopy, enabled us to correct these initial estimates. Both living and dead branch systems were eligible for sampling. Within each sample branch system the axes were divided into 0.5 m lengths out to the furthest point where they were still 4 cm in diameter. One cylindrat (a sampling unit including the cylindrical surface of a 1 dm long axis section) was sampled within each 0.5 m length. Thus the surface area included in a cylindrat varied depending on the diameter of the axis. For each cylindrat the noncrustose species were removed, sorted and weighed. Branchlets were described (e.g., diameter measured and total area and epiphyte cover estimated); one-fifth of them were taken to the laboratory where epiphytes were removed and subsamples were examined for microephiphytes. Eleven large trees ranging in height from 25-80 m and nine smaller, understory trees were climbed. During the summer of 1970 we sampled the trunk epiphytes of two large Douglas-firs. In 1971 three more were climbed and one was examined by the procedure outlined above. In 1972 six large trees, four Pseudotsuga menziesii, one Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg. (western hemlock), and one Pinus lambertiana Dougl. (sugar pine), were studied. The nine understory trees, Tsuga heterophylla, Taxus brevifolia Nutt. (western yew) and Acer circinatum Pursh (vine maple), were sampled in 1971 and 1972; each was treated as if it were a large branch system. Data used to determine the distribution of epiphytes within the forest came from examination of samples taken during systematic sampling as described above and from additional collections and observations made while climbing the trees for this study, as well as other studies. Voucher specimens of epiphyte taxa are deposited in the herbarium at Oregon State University (OSU). Sampling frequency: annual Six epiphyte zones are described: base, moist side of trunk, dry side of trunk, upper trunk, axes of branch systems and branchlets of branch systems. The flora of each zone is compared with that of the rest of the tree and with that found on understory vegetation. Epiphyte distribution is related to differences in bark and exposure of major subdivisions of the trunk and canopy.

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 SA01001 Epiphyte Species of the Andrews Forest: SA01001.csv 7486 def952219a5e50ee9c3c1bbab85d3aca 1 \r\n column ,
