Book Description
"This guide was prepared to assist field personnel in the use of plant indicators for recognizing evaluating soil moisture conditions. This guide does not replace the publications, "Ecological Classification for the Nelson Forest Region" (Utzig et al, 1978) and "A Field Guide to the Identification and Interpretation of Ecosystems" (Utzig et al); which should continue to be used for the classification of sites."

Book Description
This original work makes unprecedented use of some of the most important research to date in plant ecology. It is a guide for assessing site quality, that is, the climate and soil of particular forest and non-forest ecosystems. Foresters have long been interested in using plants as indicators in predicting the growth performance of reforestation sites, but the data have not been readily available. Indicator Plants of Coastal British Columbia fully discusses how indicator plants are recognized and demonstrates how indicator plants can be used in site diagnosis. The book presents colour illustrations and descriptions of 419 selected vascular plants, bryophytes and lichens of coastal British Columbia. Indicators with similar values are grouped into indicator species groups which are used to evaluate site quality. These data are supplemented by information on geographic distribution, life-form, shade tolerance, and other ecological characteristics of the species. Three methods are given on how to use indicator plants for the purpose of site diagnosis. Indicator Plants of Coastal British Columbia summarizes original research in a format which both students and practitioners will find easy to use.

Book Description
This guidebook shows how the distribution of common forest plants changes due to variations in climate, terrain, site, & soil conditions across the northern British Columbia wet-belt & subalpine zones. The guide covers over 120 plant species or species groups that occur in the northern montane spruce and the northern interior cedar-hemlock biogeoclimatic zones. For each species, an outline of species ecological information is presented along with a graph showing the predominant moisture & nutrient regimes where it will most likely occur. The information is arranged by category of plant: trees; shrubs; herbs, ferns, & dwarf shrubs; grasses & sedges; and mosses, liverworts, & lichens. The appendix includes identification keys to the common shrubs & herbs of the Prince George Forest Region and an index of common & scientific names.

Book Description
This guide gives an account of forest and grassland plants which are commonly encountered in the southern interior of British Columbia. It describes over 300 plant species, and is intended for use by non-professional botanists, foresters, and other resource managers, as a guide or tool to identify common plant species.
