Forest plantations are widespread globally. Young forest plantations (hereafter young forests) differ from natural old-growth forests (hereafter old forests) in above- and below-ground structures…
Watersheds and streams, such as this one at the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest, are impacted by disturbances such as fire and reduced snowpack. Photo by Ben Nash.
Wildfires are increasingly affecting the wet forests of the Pacific Northwest, a trend expected to intensify with climate change. These fires disrupt water quality and streamflow, threatening aquatic…
Scientists studied the impacts of the 2020 Holiday Farm Fire at the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest, where rare pre-fire stream discharge and chemistry data allowed them to evaluate the influence of…
The channel source hypothesis adds a potential mechanism to explain dissolved organic carbon dynamics observed in streams during storms.
A snow drought occurs when warm temperatures result in mountains receiving a higher proportion of precipitation as rain instead of snow.
In a new study, Adam Ward will develop a framework to improve our understanding of dynamic exchange processes in the river corridor, thereby improving our ability to predict the transport and fate of…
Analysis of 60‐year records of daily streamflow from eight paired‐basin experiments in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest revealed that the conversion of old‐growth forest to Douglas‐fir plantations…
Forested watersheds may not store quite as much carbon as previously thought. Small, headwater streams, such as those found in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest, import a higher than expected…
