Nestled in the central Cascade Range of Oregon, the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest is a living laboratory that provides unparalleled opportunities for the study of forest and stream ecosystems. During the last 21 years 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. Data sets are accessible through this page including all core data sets of the Andrews LTER. New data sets, as well as older legacy data sets, are continually being added to this webpage. All data are provided with accompanying documentation compliant with existing LTER metadata content standards, and metadata can be generated in EML (Ecological Metadata Language) or as a PDF. The data sets consist of long-term research study data, spatial data, and analytical tools including software and models.
