Vegetation of the Prince William Sound Region, Alaska; With a Brief Excursion into Post-Pleistocene Climatic History
Cooper WS. 1942. Vegetation of the Prince William Sound Region, Alaska; With a Brief Excursion into Post-Pleistocene Climatic History. Ecological Monographs. 12(1):1-22
The primary purpose of this paper is to describe the vegetation of the Prince William Sound region, with particular reference to its bearing upon recent glacial history. Quite naturally, comparison with Glacier Bay has yielded fruitful suggestions as to the vegetation and glacial history of coastal Alaska in general, and has even prompted an excursion still farther afield-into the rather controversial realm of post-Pleistocene climatic oscillations.
