Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER)/AND007: Post-Logging Community Structure and Biomass

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

LTER - Long-Term Ecological Research Program/H.J. Andrews Forest (AND) LTER/AND007 [Summary adapted from the LTER Core Data Set Catalog]: Patterns of plant succession and biomass accumulation following clearcut logging of an old-growth Douglas fir/western hemlock forest.

Description

These data contain post-logging compositional and structural information. A total of thirty-six 10 m x 15 m slope corrected plots are located randomly within four habitat types in proportion to habitat abundances.

Data collected include: (1) visual estimates of canopy cover for all herbaceous species, for ground surface categories (i.e., bare ground, stone, litter, log, stump), and for mosses and lichens within 45 Daubenmire plots (along three 15-m lines, 15 plots per line); (2) line intercept cover for woody species along the same three 15-m lines; (3) overstory tree cover in canopy and understory classes within the entire 10 m x 15 m plot; and (4) a tally of seedling and sapling trees in the 10 m x 15 m plot.

The Andrews Forest is in the western Cascade Range of Oregon in the 15,800-acre drainage basin of the Lookout Creek, a tributary of Blue River and the McKenzie River. The area elevation ranges from 1350 feet to 5340 feet and contains excellent examples of Pacific Northwest conifer forests, wildlife, and ecosystems.
