Description

CG

Coastal Western Redcedar
- Grand Fir

Typically a dense coniferous forest, which includes plant communities that progress through long-lived Douglas-fir seral stages to a varied climax of western redcedar and grand fir.

CH

Coastal Western Hemlock
- Western Redcedar

Typically a dense coniferouse forest, with shrub-dominated understories, found along outer coastal plains.

CL

Cliff

Non-alpine, steep unvegetated rock slope.

CP

Coastal Douglas-fir - Shore Pine

Typically a dry coniferous forest characterized by plant communities composed of a sparse shrub layer and a well developed moss and lichen layer, which proceed to a Douglas-fir climax.

CR

Black Cottonwood
Riparian Habitat Class

Typically a dense coniferous, deciduous or broad-leaved forest, with shrub-dominated understories, which includes plant communities that progress through a varying mixture of shrubs and black cottonwood.

CS

Coastal Western Hemlock
- Subalpine Fir

Typically a northern coastal, cold habitat, characterized by dense coniferous forests of western hemlock, subalpine fir and spruce with dense shrub and moss and lichen layers.

CW

Coastal Western Hemlock
- Douglas fir

Typically a dense coniferous forest, with fern- or shrub dominated understories, which includes plant communities that progress through long-lived Douglas-fir seral stages to a western hemlock climax.

DA

Douglas-fir Arbutus

Typically a dense coniferous forest, with shrub-dominated understories, which includes plant communities that may pass through seral stages with arbutus as a major component after intense fire, to a Douglas-fir climax. Sites usually associated with shallow, rocky areas.

DF

Interior Douglas-fir

Typically a dense coniferous forest, with grass- or shrub-dominated understories, which includes plant communities that progress directly to a Douglas-fir climax.

DL

Douglas-fir - Lodgepole Pine

Typically a dense coniferous forest, with shrub- or pinegrass- dominated understories, which includes plant communities that progress through a mixture of lodgepole pine and Douglas-fir or trembling aspen to a Douglas-fir climax.

DP

Douglas-fir - Ponderosa Pine

Typically an open to dense coniferous forest, with shrub-or bunchgrass-dominated understories, which includes plant communities that progress through a mixture of Douglas-fir and ponderosa pine to a Douglas-fir climax.

EF

Engelmann Spruce
- Subalpine Fir Dry Forested

Typically a dense coniferous forest, with shrub-dominated understories, which includes plant communities that may progress through seral lodgepole pine to a varied climax of Engelmann spruce and subalpine fir.
