  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Recent geomorphic history in the area of experimental watersheds 1, 2, 3, 9, and 10, H. J. Andrews Forest Author: U.S. International Biological Program. Coniferous Forest Biome, James, Michael E., University of Washington, Swanson, Frederick J. (Frederick John), 1943- Studies in the lower Lookout Creek-Blue River area have revealed a geomorphic history including glaciation and the development of three alluvial surfaces, presently active alluvial cones and older, deeply dissected cone remnants. Results are based on landform mapping, analysis of the types and distributions of surficial sediments, and the distribution of Mazama ash. Presence of the ash makes it possible to date geomorphic features relative to a time horizon about 8,000 years in age. This work has served to identify individual cones which will be studied further to learn the erosional histories of specific watersheds.

Nine categories of nematodes are present, most belonging to the saprozoic, dorylaimoid, aquatic and mononchoid groups Population estimates vary from 400,000-2,000,000 per square meter. Preliminary correlations of population vs. moisture (climate) are made. Title: Acari, insecta and nematoda of watershed 10, H. J. Andrews experimental forest Author: Jensen, Harold J.

Coniferous Forest Biome, University of Washington The specific objectives of the program are: (1) To understand the relative behavior of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems in various environments in the biome. (2) To develop conceptual and computer simulation models that describe nutrient, carbon, and waterflows on a short-term basis (fewer than ten years) and which integrate research results and increase our understanding of coniferous forests and associated aquatic ecosystems. These models are being developed at the process, forest stand or water column, and watershed levels. (3) To develop conceptual and computer simulation models that describe the long-term behavior of coniferous forest ecosystems involving succession and erosion. (4) To understand the linkages between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. (5) To determine the effect of manipulations, such as clearcutting, fertilization, and defoliation on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Mineral cycling in Douglas-fir : intensive study progress report Author: Grier, Charles Crocker, 1938-, U.S. International Biological Program. Coniferous Forest Biome, Cole, Dale W., University of Washington Intensive studies of the mineral cycling process in young-growth Douglas-fir stands have been in progress at the R. H. Thompson Research Center since 1966. During this time, a substantial body of information has been collected on the amounts, pathways, rates of transfer, and mechanisms that control transfer of elements in the mineral cycling process in this ecosystem. These studies have had two major objectives: (1) to provide information describing the changes in mineral cycling as the stand grows, and (2) to examine the year-to-year variation in the mineral cycling process. More recently, a third objective has been to examine the relation between climatic factors and the various mechanisms that control rates of transfer along the transfer pathways.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Eddy sizes above a forest canopy Author: U.S. International Biological Program. Coniferous Forest Biome, Fritschen, Leo, Farnum, Peter, University of Washington Sixteen propeller anemometers were placed 29 meters above a 45-year-old (approximately) Douglas-fir stand. Correlations between paired anemometers, when viewed as a function of distance between them, showed that eddies up to 5 meters in diameter were common, and indicated that larger eddies up to 9 meters across occur. Partial correlation coefficients between anemometers indicated that eddies are simply connected in cross section. Morning and nighttime data were excluded from analysis because the air was too calm. Results are related to the use of the eddy correlation method of determining atmospheric fluxes and the lack of preferential locations for updrafts or downdrafts above a tree crown.
