Description:

Abstract:

Plant Association Groups in the U.S. Pacific Northwest. This grid is created from a Potential Natural Vegetation modeling process that utilizes digital elevation data, climate data and other factors which can include fog, site moisture, soil, or geology.

Purpose:

To provide predicted potential natural vegetation for forest management and gis analysis of forest resources.

Supplemental_Information:

U.S. Forest Service Plant Association guides are available on the ecoshare website: <http://ecoshare.info/category/publications/>
