Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Pacific Northwest Ecoclass Identification: Concept and Codes; R6 Regional Guide 1-3, January 1976
The following alpha-numeric system is designed for computer storage and retrieval of information. A typical classification based upon taxonomic similarity is not attempted. Instead, general similarities are used for grouping, such as the coniferous forest Formation which is divided into tree Species Associations which are further broken down by kind of ground vegetation Series which are further divided into Community Types by species of dominant ground vegetation. Computer information can be searched for any level or item to form groupings or agglomerations which meet specific kinds of land management needs. The land manager can classify any way that meets his immediate objectives.
