The International Biological Program (IBP) was the major research program at Andrews Forest during the 1970s. IBP funding from the National Science Foundation and many associated grants made it possible for a large team of academic and Forest Service researchers to study a wide range of ecosystem topics – vegetation, fauna, soils, stream ecology, geomorphology, microclimate, landscape history, and more. Participants in this group interview represent a wide variety of disciplines and roles: writer-editor Brookes, OSU ecology professors Denison and Waring, stream ecologist Hall, Forest Service soil scientist Dyrness, U of Washington forest ecology professor Franklin, Forest Service information manager Henshaw, Forest Service field crew manager Levno, Forest Service geologist Swanson. This was a critical period of development of whole ecosystem concepts, especially of old-growth forest and stream systems.
