Location Name: Reference Stand RS38, H.J. Andrews EF, Willamette NF - RS38

Parent: Andrews Forest and vicinity Reference Stands - HJRS

Vegetation:

CANOPY: Thin, low; CONTINUOUS, CLOSED CANOPY TYPE, though site used to be clear-cut. SURFACE: Leaves, shrubs, and dirt.

Climate:

Site is in south-facing slope amongst young dense evergreen forest. Historically an unusually warm site due to thin low canopy, southern exposure, and fact that is used to be clear-cut (has since grown back). Canopy appears to act as a sort of magnifier of solar radiation, keeping site inordinately warm.
