HJ Andrews Experimental Forest

The Andrews Forest is a place of inquiry. Our mission is to support research on forests, streams, and watersheds, and to foster strong collaboration among ecosystem science, education, natural resource management, and the humanities. Our place and our work are administered cooperatively by the USDA Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Research Station, Oregon State University, and the Willamette National Forest. First established in 1948 as an US Forest Service Experimental Forest, the H.J. Andrews is a 16,000-acre ecological research site in Oregon's beautiful western Cascades Mountains. The landscape is home to iconic Pacific Northwest old-growth forests of Cedar and Hemlock, and moss-draped ancient Douglas Firs; steep terrain; and fast, cold-running streams. In 1980 the Andrews became a charter member of the National Science Foundation's Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Program.

安德鲁斯森林是一个探索之地。我们的使命是支持对森林、溪流和流域的研究，并促进生态系统科学、教育、自然资源管理以及人文学科之间的紧密合作。我们的场所和工作由美国农业部森林服务局的太平洋西北研究站、俄勒冈州立大学和威拉米特国家森林共同管理。H.J. 安德鲁斯森林于1948年作为美国森林服务实验森林首次建立，位于俄勒冈州美丽的西部卡斯卡德山脉，占地16,000英亩，是一个生态学研究场所。这片景观是标志性的太平洋西北部老生长松和云杉森林的家园，以及覆盖着苔藓的古老道格拉斯冷杉；陡峭的地形和湍急、寒冷的溪流。1980年，安德鲁斯森林成为美国国家科学基金会长期生态研究（LTER）计划的创始成员。
