Field guide for forested plant associations of the Wenatchee National Forest

The Guide is the result of many years of field and office work, of collection, analysis and interpretation of data about the Forest. The objectives were to:
(1) develop an upland forest vegetation classification based on relatively stable plant communities (associations);
(2) collect adequate data to characterize the physical attributes of each plant association, including soils, slope, aspect, microrelief and landform;
(3) determine and present estimates of site productivity for each association; and,
(4) document the effects of disturbance where possible, and make management recommendations for each association.
