Site Description
Martha Creek (MART) is an aquatic NEON field site located just north of the Columbia River Gorge in Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Martha Creek is a third-order wadeable stream that drains a 6.34 km2 (1570 acre) watershed and is a tributary of Trout Creek. The land is managed by the U.S. Forest Service. The watershed is dominated by old-growth coniferous forest and is designated a Tier I Key Watershed in the Northwest Forest Plan due to its importance in supporting threatened native fish populations. The 2012 removal of a dam to improve fish passage in the creek allows for the study of aquatic habitat restoration. MART is located in NEON's Pacific Northwest Domain (D16), which is bounded by the Pacific on the west and Canada on the north. It includes the eastern halves of Washington and Oregon and parts of northern California. The Domain hosts three other field sites: one additional aquatic and two terrestrial. MART is near the WREF terrestrial site.
