sobota.daniel@deq.state.or.us Creator 2011-09-14 This database contains data on patterns of fall and breakage by riparian trees along streams in the Pacific Northwest. Data in these tables were collected from 2000-2002. Two tables are included. (1) site descriptions and (2) tree fall. The site descriptions table contains information on the geographic location (general physiographic location, political state, and river drainage basin), physical aspects of the channel (active channel width, valley floor width, and channel gradient), and structure of the riparian forest (general age, tree density and basal area, and average tree height/diameter breast height ratio of down trees at the site). Physical aspects of the channel are average values taken at 20-m intervals within the site except for channel gradient, which are average values for 100-m intervals. Stand density (trees per ha) and basal area (m2 per ha) were measured with the point- center quarter method, please see Dan Sobota's Master's thesis (Pub 4337) for more details. The tree fall table contains information on individual trees measured at each site in the study. Species, geomorphic landform of rooting position, streamside location, and type of tree fall (stem break or root throw event) are descriptive variables for each tree. Tree height, diameter at breast height and diameter at the top of the tree describe tree size. Side slope at tree base and distance from the active channel describe the physical location of the tree along the stream. Number of pieces only includes those produced when the tree first fell. Fall direction is normalized to 0 degrees upstream and 90 degrees directly towards the stream for trees located on both stream banks. disturbance wood woody debris organic matter trees LTER controlled vocabulary riparian ecosystems Andrews Experimental Forest site thesaurus disturbance organic matter LTER core research areas National Council for Air and Stream Improvement, Inc.

Statistical Methods - TD042 Statistics/algorithms (include name, description, and citation): Provide a general description of the site. Coast Range: Douglas-fir/western hemlock forest zone; basalts, oceanic floor crusts and marine and estuarine sedimentary rocks Western Cascades: Douglas-fir/western hemlock forest zone; andesites, basalts, rhyolites and minor sedimentary rock types Eastern Cascades: Douglas-fir/western hemlock/Ponderosa Pine forests; andesites, basalts, rhyolites and minor sedimentary rock types Intermountain West: Douglas-fir/ponderosa pine/lodgepole pine/western larch forests; Columbia Basalts and glacial deposits Sampling frequency: Data were collected at a single visit to each site Sites in this study selected according to region (west or east of Cascades crest) and forest age (40-70 years old; 80-150 years old; >150 years old). Intensive surveys performed on a randomly-selected 200-300-m reach of stream, extending to 50 m upslope (ground distance) on each streamside. Up to 100 fallen trees (approximately half per streamside) were surveyed at each site. Empirical measurements of diameter at breast height, tree height, fall direction (standardized to streamside and valley orientation) were conducted for trees greater than 10 cm diameter at breast height in the study site.

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 TD04201 Site description data: Geographic, physical and forest setting of study sites TD04201.csv 1360 c1db980b5c48381103329ff5a60e6f0a 1 \r\n column , " http://andlter.forestry.oregonstate.edu/ltermeta/ltersearch/dataaccess.aspx?docid=TD04201_v1.csv 2000-09-01 2003-03-01 DBCODE Database Code char(5) TD042 FSDB Database Code TD042 ENTITY Entity number numeric(1,0) number 1 natural 1.0000 9.0000 YEAR Year of measurements numeric(4,0) YYYY REGION Regional location of the site char(3) ICB Interior Columbia River Basin WCC West of the Cascades Crest FORAGE Riparian forest age of the site numeric(3,0) number of years 10.000000 whole 0.0000 500.0000 SITECODE Site code char(3) BIG BIG CREEK BLO BLOOM CREEK CED CEDAR CREEK CRI CRIM CREEK FLY FLYNN CREEK FOR FORKS CREEK GC GREEN CANYON CREEK GOA GOAT CREEK HAG HAGAN CREEK (WET GULCH) LIT LITTLE CREEK MAC MACK CREEK MCC McCAIN CREEK MUR MURR CREEK NFC NORTH FORK OF CABIN CREEK NFG NORTH FORK OF THE NORTH FORK OF GATE CREEK PIP PIPER CREEK SFC SOUTH FORK OF CABIN CREEK SQU SQUEEZER CREEK STI STILLMAN CREEK STU STURDY CREEK WFM WEST FORK OF MICA CREEK ST State location of site char(3) OR Oregon WA Washington ID Idaho MT Montana DRAIN River Drainage of site char(3) ALS ALSEA RIVER CHE CHEHALIS RIVER GRE GREEN RIVER GRO GRANDE RONDE RIVER MCK MCKENZIE RIVER MFW MIDDLE FORK WILLAMETTE RIVER NSA NORTH SANTIAM RIVER POT POTLATCH RIVER STJ ST.
