Carbon Storage and Productivity Estimates in a Second-Growth Forest
Long-term Ecosystem Research In Diverse
Lowland Puget Sound Forests
This project is a long-term research effort involving
students and faculty conducting research on patterns and process in a 1000
acre lowland Puget Sound second-growth rainforest at the Evergreen State
College. Major changes are expected and have already occurred in these
lowland Puget Sound ecosystems associated with ecological and anthropogenic
factors. Our efforts are centered on 44 intensively-studied long-term
monitoring plots where we are measuring biological diversity, development,
carbon dynamics, and decay of trees, snags, sub-canopy vegetation, and
down-woody debris. We use a rotating subset of 10 plots to conduct detailed
measurements of soil CO2 efflux, root production, spatial
relationships between trees and and soils. These data allow us to improve
understanding of carbon dynamics and forest structure in a model lowland
Puget Sound forest, as well as develop and ask interesting questions related
to forest structure and diversity. Over-time, these data will allow us to
address how forests change, and how climate change is affecting ecosystems. We are interested in
collaboration with other labs. Please contact us about data sharing and
joint projects.
