Sharpe GW. 1956. A Taxonomical-Ecological Study of the Vegetation by Habitats in Eight Forest Types of the Olympic rain forest, Olympic National Park, Washington. University of Washington
From the Abstract: "The work of this study took place over a four year period and is the first comprehensive study of the Olympic Rain Forest vegetation. To determine which plants, both phaerogams and cryptogams, occur in the rain forest, 176 ten thousand square foot plots were established in eight pure forest types. Within each plot all vegetation was recorded according to its abundance and sociability in six major habitats; the tree crown, tree trunk, tree base, rotting log, soil, and disturbed soil habitat. Four less common habitats, rock, seep, water, and bear scat were also considered." Study sites located within Olympic National Park, WA.
