Willow Creek

Fluxnet Information
Site Name: Willow Creek
Description: The Willow Creek site is located in the upland mature deciduous forests of the Chequamegon-Nicollet National Forest, owned and supervised by USDA-Forest Service. The surrounding stand occupies about 260 ha and is relatively homogeneous within 0.6 km of the tower. Common geomorphological features of the upland areas include sothwest-trending drumlins, slightly elevated ground moraines, poorly drained depressions, and outwash plains. Forests surrounding the tower were clearcut at least twice, once during European settlement in the late 1800s and later in approximately 1933. These secondary stands are conversions from the old-growth hemlock-hardwood forests to sugar maple-aspen-yellow birch forests.
