- Abstract:
-
This data set is an ascii file containing dimensions and descriptive information about coarse woody debris on the ground in the study areas. Data were collected in the Drift Creek, Lobster Creek, and Nestucca River basins in the central Coast Range in western Oregon during 1996. This data set was prepared for processing with SAS statistical software.
- Purpose:
-
Assess associations between small mammals and amphibian capture rates and coarse woody debris levels.

-
In this study three replicate watershed basins in the central Oregon Coast Ranges, each blocking ten sub-basin scale treatment combinations, were sampled (using wet pitfall trapping) to assess small mammal/amphibian abundance in relation to forest pattern and composition. Line survey transects were systematically distributed perpendicular to orientation of the sub-basin at 400 meter intervals. Trapping stations were established at 200 meter intervals along each survey transect. Downwood and soil depth sampling was conducted at the trapping stations in the summer and fall of 1996.
Line intercept downwood transects, 20 meters in length, were set out in each of the four cardinal directions from the center point of each sampled trapping station. All downwood or small standing stumps/snags (<1.5 meters tall) > 10 cm. at the point of intercept with any transect line were tallied. For each tallied log the basin, sub-basin, trapping station, date, species group (conifer, hardwood, or unknown), diameter(s) at the point of intercept, relative age (more or less than six months old) and decay class (0-5) was noted.
