Forest Vegetation of the Routt National Forest in Northwestern Colorado: A Habitat Type Classification

摘要

A vegetation classification based on concepts and methods developed by Daubenmire were used to identify 11 forest habitat types in the Routt National Forest. Included were five habitat types in the Populus tremuloides series, two in the Abies lasiocarpa series, and one each in the Pinus contorta, Pseudotsuga menziesii, Pinus flexilis, and Quercus gambelii series. A key to identify the habitat types and the management implications associated with each are provided.
