We were able to take advantage of permanent plots in the RNA, established in 1976. The plots encompass a range of fire severity from unburned to complete tree mortality with crowns consumed. Our objectives in this work were: 1) to quantify the severity of the fire at the scale of 0.1 ha plots and individual trees; 2) to describe characteristics of the post-fire seedbed; 3) to track the fate of snags created by the wildfire; 4) to document regeneration of trees and understory vegetation after the fire; 5) to continue the measurements of treee growth and mortality that pre-date the fire. vegetation dynamics community dynamics fires measurements plant properties fire severity succession primary production plant growth tree growth mortality tree mortality regeneration organic matter seedlings LTER controlled vocabulary primary production organic matter 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.

We plan to repeat measurements in 1998, and avery 5 years thereafter. However, measurements may be taken more frequently if rapid changes are found in reconnaissance visits, and if resources are available. High elevation mountain hemlock forest. Moderately sloping terrain. Sampling frequency: yearly We established 12 permanent vegetation monitoring plots (using existing TV010 permanent plots where possible), including three plots in each of four fire severity categories including: 1) unburned (greater than 90% of trees surviving the wildfire, 2) partial mortality (greater than 10% and less than or equal to 90% of trees surviving, 3) >90% tree mortality, crowns scorched and, 4) >90% mortality, crowns consumed. These data are intended to provide us with a record of natural post-fire vegetation dynamics in high elevation mountain hemlock forest.

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. 2 TV04502 Initial Snag Condition: This table also contains snags from reference stand SP06 TV04502.csv 49951
