 A Century of Discovery: 100 Years of U.S. Experimental Forests and Ranges - Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument – The Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument, which includes the volcano and the surrounding 110,000 acres, is not an experimental forest per se, but it operates in the manner of a major national research site. The area was designated by Congress in 1982, two years after the catastrophic May 18, 1980 eruption, to allow "geologic forces and ecological succession to continue substantially unimpeded." Since 1980, Mount St. Helens' researchers have made major contributions to the field of disturbance ecology, generating findings on biological legacies, plant and animal colonization, and ecological interactions.
