Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER)/AND012: Tree Permanent Plots of the Pacific Northwest

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

LTER - Long-Term Ecological Research Program/H.J. Andrews Forest (AND) LTER/AND012 [Summary adapted from the LTER Core Data Set Catalog]: This study is designed to examine the rates of succession, and measure mortality and growth in representative forest types in the Pacific Northwest.

Description

Permanent plots with tagged trees were established in forest stands selected to represent various forest types and stages of succession.

At intervals of 1-10 years, stands are reinventoried to examine growth, ingrowth and mortality. 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.
