Revised vegetation classification for Mount Rainier, North Cascades, and Olympic National Parks: Descriptions and identification keys for plant associations and wetland alliances
Ramm-Granberg T, Rocchio FJ, Copass C, Brunner R, Nielsen E. 2021. Revised vegetation classification for Mount Rainier, North Cascades, and Olympic National Parks: Descriptions and identification keys for plant associations and wetland alliances. North Coast and Cascades Network, National Park Service. Port Angeles, Washington
This is the key to the plant associations of Mount Rainier and Olympic National Parks and the North Cascades National Park Complex, along with revised association descriptions for all upland plant associations and wetland alliances. The key and descriptions include all upland plant associations, forested wetland associations and a selection of common wet shrubland, peatland, marsh, and wet meadow associations. The remaining wetland types are described at the alliance level. Project background and methods are found in the project summary report, "Revised vegetation classification for Mount Rainier, North Cascades, and Olympic National Parks: Project summary report," (Ramm-Granberg et al. 2021, see cross references). This work replaces the previous vegetation classification for Mount Rainier, North Cascades, and Olympic National Parks (Crawford et al. 2009).
