Integrating academic and agency research interests at the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest

A large number of studies are conducted at the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest and seven nearby research natural areas (RNA's). During 1983, 63 academic and 21 agency scientists were involved in 56 separately funded projects. In addition, 48 graduate students used the areas. Data from various monitoring efforts were used in 79 of the total number of studies, including 21 studies conducted on RNA's. Several factors appear responsible for the success of the monitoring program that combines academic and agency research interests. The factors are: a vigorous research program, common research interests and goals, a spirit of cooperation among the scientists, a coordinating administrative structure, clearly defined responsibilities, and a centralized data bank.
