Andrews Experimental Forest. [Place of publication unknown]: [Publisher unknown]. [http://andrewsforest.oregonstate.edu/pubs/webdocs/reports/flood.htm (8 June 2011)].
This paper is a preliminary look at some of the climatic, hydrologic, and geomorphic aspects of the flood event of February 6-9, 1996 on the H.J.Andrews Experimental Forest (HJA). A wealth of geophysical and ecological information, including long-term observations, set the stage for interpretation of effects of this important disturbance event/process on terrestrial, riparian, and aquatic systems. Comparison with the major floods of 1964-1965 provides perspectives on effects of watershed conditions on ecosystem responses to extreme climatic events. The distinctive, well-known forest management history of HJA provides insights concerning effects of changes in forest management on watershed responses to floods.
