Book Description
This guide describes the principal non-forested plant communities of the Cascade Range in northwestern Oregon. It reflects the compilation and analysis of plant community and associated environmental data from seven distinct projects conducted by USFS and University researchers over a period of 33 years (1966 to 1999; see Methods). Descriptions emphasize the species composition (including the primary or characteristic species) and environmental contexts in which these communities occur. The guide is not intended as an exhaustive list of non-forested types, but includes the most common-those likely to be of interest to resource managers, botanists, wildlife biologists, and recreationists. These non-forested ecosystems support much of the local and regional diversity of plants and animals found on federal lands in this region. Our goal is to provide simple descriptions of community types that occur repeatedly across the landscape and of the physical environments (elevations, landforms, and topographic settings) with which they are associated. The non-forested types in this guide represent relatively stable communities dominated by graminoids (grasses, sedges and rushes), forbs, or shrubs. They occupy diverse environmental settings, from wetland basins to dry ridge tops, at lower (montane) to higher (subalpine and alpine) elevations in the Western and High Cascades. The persistence of these communities in an otherwise forested landscape is often indicative of environmental or edaphic conditions that limit tree establishment, although some may originate, or be maintained, by disturbance (e.g., fire, grazing, or snow movement). This work on non-forested types complements earlier descriptions of forested communities (Hemstrom et al. 1982, 1987; Halverson et al. 1986; Diaz et al. 1997; McCain and Diaz 2002) and wetlands (Christy 2004) in northwestern Oregon.
