Historical forest harvesting practices were reviewed in the original Alsea Watershed Study where they found increased energy
loading to the stream and produced higher stream temperatures. This was an important early research site that led to the
development of contemporary forest management practices to protect water quality and fish habitat...
These data contain temperature readings from dataloggers launched in Deer Creek, Flynn Creek, and Needle Branch from 2006 to 2010. These loggers were apart of the Alsea Watershed Revisisted Study Revisited articles, but the data was incomplete due to logging gaps, temperature spikes, or other issues. The "Thermistor Functionality" datasets...
Dataset contains a 2015 partial re-measurement of the Blue Mountains Fire and Fire Surrogate study. 8 plots were measured from each of the 16 units, selected
randomly from all plots in each unit. Species are recorded using USDA plant codes, "UNKN" is unknown species. For fine fuels, 3 Brown's transects...
Hydraulic conductance of leaves (K[subscript leaf]) typically decreases with increasing water stress and recent studies have proposed different mechanisms responsible for decreasing K[subscript leaf]. We measured K[subscript leaf] concurrently with ultrasonic acoustic emissions (UAEs) in dehydrating leaves of several species to determine whether declining K[subscript leaf] was associated with xylem...
These data set includes calibrated predictions of Depth, Velocity and Shear Stress for seven discharges (0.4 to 3.4m^3, equivalent to 0.12 Qbf to Qbf) at Oak Creek using the Flow and Sediment Transport with Morphological Evolution of Channels (FaSTMECH).
These data were all collected in summer 2021 at Hinkle Creek watershed, a headwater ecosystem in a managed forest landscape in western Oregon. The data set has two components. The first component of the data set includes information about age 1 and older fish collected from two sections of the...
Dendrochronological data provides insight in the tree development, and used in conjunction with forest inventory, can supply inputs for growth and yield modeling. However, accurate and precise measurements of a large number of incremental cores require significant resources. One possible source of valuable tree ring data are national forest inventories...
We examined long-term changes in daily streamflow associated with forestry practices with two datasets (this one and the original Alsea Streamflow dataset (1972) over a 60-year period (1959–2017) in the Alsea Watershed Study, Oregon Coast Range, Pacific Northwest, USA. In this contemporary period, 2006 to 2017 (12 water years), data...
This data set includes the calibrated predictions of Depth, Elevation, Water Surface Elevation, Shear Stress, Vorticity, and Froude Number for three reaches in the Mill Creek watershed, a tributary of the Siletz River, Oregon. The predictions are for bankfull flow before and after the addition of Large Wood using Nays2DH,...
We develop an approach for estimating net ecosystem exchange (NEE) using inventory-based information over North America (NA) for a recent 7-year period (ca. 2000–2006). The approach notably retains information on the spatial distribution of NEE, or the vertical exchange between land and atmosphere of all non-fossil fuel sources and sinks...
