Drought experiment 3rd year ⁦Andrews Forest⁩. One low flow reach & one high temperature reach. Will run for 6 weeks. With ⁦Warren Lab - Oregon State University⁩ and ⁦Maddie Maffia⁩. Thanks to Adrian, Haley and Zach

Pleased to say Andrews Forest has finished a fun and interesting week at our US LTER National Science Foundation mid-term review! Thanks Catalina Segura - Associate Professor Posy Busby Brooke Penaluna and many others for your devotion to this research and forest, and to panelists for all of your time and thoughtful questions!

Summer jobs and internship opportunities are posted on our News and Events page, andrewsforest.oregonstate.edu/about/news-eve…

Exciting opportunities the HJA!

US LTER Pacific NW Research Matt Betts Catalina Segura - Associate Professor

For squirrel appreciation day, I’ll share the Humboldt flying squirrel (Glaucomys oregonensis) caught in 2011 at Andrews Forest as part of a spotted owl prey-base study. They were still classified as Northern at the time. They were separated in 2017 by Arbogast et al.

Dr. Andrew Merschel (PNW Research Station) presented his recent research on fire history. His work extended across western Oregon, including sites on the Willamette NF.

The presentation and a copy of Andrew’s slides were posted here:

Are all 'green spaces' good for biodiversity? In our newest episode of Below The Canopy, Matt Betts talks about how degraded forests impact wildlife and explains why birds are a clear warning sign for #biodiversity loss.

Reunion of our REU team from Andrews Forest a few ago, including Paige Sheridan Becker 🐀 & Tadd Bindas. Please to report Tadd is seeing parallels between his REU and current dissertation work with Chaopeng Shen — love watching people grow & succeed!!

Opportunity for an undergrad to work with me and Dr. Matt Johnson (Cal Poly Humboldt) &
Taal Levi Andrews Forest on food webs in forest birds in relation to microclimate (using DNA barcoding). Underrepresented minorities are especially encouraged to apply. Applications to Dr. Johnson

Check out The Channel Source Hypothesis by Steve Wondzell & Adam Ward, featured in the Andrews Forest newsletter. A new hypothesis about when and where DOC comes from during storms, after existing models fail to explain observations.

Old growth forests provide respite from climate change for animals, research at Andrews Forest finds—stressing the importance of keeping old trees alive.

Great opportunity to work in the Oregon Coast range on a forest biodiversity project with Taal, me and others. Steep, difficult terrain, but important work.

This postdoc position focused on microclimate and forest biodiversity is still open and we're accepting applications until Nov.30. The HJ Andrews Andrews Forest US LTER is a fantastic community (both human and forest)! Start date (somewhat) negotiable. Please retweet.

Hey Look! This might be our first submission to the unofficial and unsanctioned HJA themed pumpkin carving contest! Looks like a winner!

Old-growth forests and managed forests with old-growth characteristics can provide relief from climate change for some bird species, research by Andrews Forest scientists and colleagues suggest.

Joe Lamanna rocks the house with his @oregonstate EECB talk on how within-species tree interactions shift from negative to nearly positive across a microclimate gradient. Does this mechanism enable higher biodiversity in warmer forests? Joe LaManna Andrews Forest
