Inclusion a sedge patch within the elk watering hole, at the base of the sloping amphitheatre of aspens.Fit ok, just lots more graminoid diversity than mentioned in description. This could be because of heavy browsing; normally there could be more FESCAM. But since there was such a lot of ACHNEL we went with that type (neat to finally see it together with ACHRIC).

POPBST invading into sparse vegetation area, increasing the total vegetation cover. Lots of exotic weeds in small patches including knapweed, timothy and wild sweet clover. We found Hypericum formosum on edge of stream and Corydalis aurea about 100m E of plot right on side of road.DOMINANT SPECIES (P COVER) NOT INDICATOR SPECIES WERE ASTLAV, CENMAC, AND ANAMAR. HIGHLY VARIABLE AREA WITH STEEP CLIFFS AND COARSE SOIL AND GRAVEL. POLYGON TRAVELS ALONG RIVER CORRIDOR WHICH INCLUDES POCKETS OF POPBAL (WITHIN OUR MMU) AND CLUSTERS OF VARIOUS CONIFERS (ABILAS, PSEMEN) AND GRAVEL BARS.The type keyed out nicely, but the description sounds too wet; this is more dominated (in the graminoid layer) by DESCAM. It is all sandy and is not so inundated as the descrption. However, we included the middle part of the gravel bar so that might have affected the overall community, seeing as how where the DESCAM is, appears to have been inundated earlier in a backwater strip. Exotics include Trifolium sp, Cirsium sp, Phleum and Prunella, plus others.Lots of seedlings and saplings and old gravelbar vegetation. We decided to ignore trees to get a better fit. But trees are definitely present and really is farther along than the type described as DRYDRU-CHALAT.DRAW DOWN AREA./NO TAROFF PRESENT. LAKE SHERVURNE IS AN ARTIFICIAL LAKE, WHICH IS LOW AT THIS TIME. THIS SITE IS DIRECTLY AJACENT TO LAKE. PUCINELLIA PAUCIFLORA-PARTIALLY SUBMERGED (WATER LEVEL IS LOW) - FOUND @ SITE.We did plot on upper part of slope of polygon so got a drier association. Surprising amount of MAISTE (we think; could be S. racemosa). It seems to be creeping in from moister troughs and woodlands surrounding the meadow. In moister half of meadow, there is much more robust FESCAM with diversity of rushes and sedges in microsites. PHLPRA is also increasing in understory of FESCAM in moister parts.kA #f3A@TA3A@TA |@`@GLAC.1201AAGL.1201GRABARPark Special 2Gravel Bar Early Successional VegetationGLACAJACENT TO ROSE CREEKGARMIN, 7MNAD83Jennifer Hintz, Jen Asebrook, Mel Waggy2SteepEChannel wallriverbedSlope & Modified Deposits: Solifluction, landslideRiverine\@Herb-annualBroad-leavedHerbaceous vegetation0.5 - 2 m1 : 3 STREAM CROSSINGki1201T/NA50:50||ppppppf2(phhhhh]RHW]U2fAoTAAoTA y@P (@GLAC.1200AAGL.1200SALDRU/CALCANCEGL002667Salix drummondiana / Calamagrostis canadensis ShrublandGLACW END OF ST MARY LAKEGARMIN, 5MNAD83Kay Izlar,Dorothy Wallace-Senft2FlatFlat (n/Basin floorgravel barGlacial Deposits: Lacustrine and fluvial depositsLacustrineO@)@Cold-deciduousBroad-leavedShrubland 2 - 5 m0.5 - 2 m <0.5 m1:2 DISTANCEDWS101-01492-/00:100&   wD8++!!whhhhh]RHWU2fA@CTAA@CTA z@| d@GLAC.1196AAGL.1196CARUTR-HERBACEOUS VEGCEGL001792Carex microptera Herbaceous VegetationGLAC2@*GARMIN, 5MNAD83Kay Izlar, Dorothy Wallace-Senft2FlatFlat (n/Low levelstream terrace (undifferentiated)Glacial Deposits: Glacial-fluvial depositsRiverine@)Herb-perennialGraminoidHerbaceous vegetation0.5 - 2 m2 : BP-2, DISTANCEki100-0175P+/NANA||||ppppf:  hhhhh]RHW]U2fA@TAA@TA ~@  @GLAC.1195AAGL.1195DRYDRU-CHALATPark Special 2Gravel Bar Early Successional VegetationGLACE@*GARMIN, 6MNAD83Kay Izlar,Dorothy Wallace-Senft2FlatFlat (n/Basin floorold stream meanderGlacial Deposits: Glacial-fluvial depositsRiverine$@)@Herb-perennialBroad leaf herbaceousHerbaceous vegetation 1 - 2 m0.5 - 2 m <0.5 m1:2 DISTANCEDWS102-02644/075:25xxll````V*  whhhhh]RHWU2fATAATA s@Z @GLAC.1194AAGL.1194ELYREP-TAROFFCEGL005868Elymus repens Semi-natural Herbaceous VegetationGLACWINDY CREEK FLATPLGR, 9.7MNAD83Dorothy Wallace-Senft, Kay Izlar, Steve Cooper, Sara Lubinski, Jennifer Hintz2GentleSELow levellake plainGlacial Deposits: Lacustrine and fluvial depositsLacustrine@Herb-perennialGraminoidHerbaceous vegetation@.0 : 1ki100-0010NANA   `TIIEE=;whhhhh]RHWUU2,n 2YDfLAFTALAFTA x@0<P@GLAC.1216AAGL.1216ABILAS-PICENG/CLIUNICEGL000336Abies lasiocarpa - Picea engelmannii / Streptopus amplexifolius ForestLAROCC/CLIUNICEGL005880Larix occidentalis / Clintonia uniflora ForestGLAC3@*GARMIN, 9MNAD83Kay Izlar, Dorothy Wallace-Senft2ModerateEMidslopehighlandGlacial Deposits: TillUpland@EvergreenNeedle-leavedForest35 - 50 m15 - 35 m 5 - 20 m 2 - 5 m0.5 - 2 m <0.5 m3 : BP-3 BLOWDOWN, DISTANCEki100-100LAROCC/CLIUNI6-/5100:0ta[[LCC? |rrppfdBBBBBB;/////#~hhhhh]RHU6f$ATA$ATA `~@ F@GLAC.1214AAGL.1214SALBOO/CARUTRCEGL001178Salix boothii / Carex utriculata ShrublandGRABARPark Special 2Gravel Bar Early Successional VegetationGLAC$@*GARMIN, 6MNAD83Kay Izlar, Dorothy Wallace-Senft2FlatFlat (n/Basin floorvalley floorOrganic Deposits: MuckPalustrine#@)@Cold-deciduousBroad-leavedShrubland 5 - 10 m 2 - 5 m0.5 - 2 m3 : 3 DISTANCEki102-0292GRABAR1+/P+0:1008%  }eWJJ@@:8whhhhh]RHq_U:fh]A\TAh]A\TA {@\(<@ GLAC.1212AAGL.1212SALDRU/CARUTRCEGL002631Salix drummondiana / Carex utriculata ShrublandSALDRU/CALCAN, PICENG/SALDRUCEGL002667Salix drummondiana / Calamagrostis canadensis ShrublandCARAQU/MIXED FORBSCEGL001802Carex aquatilis Herbaceous VegetationGLACCOSLEY LAKE CUT OFF TRAILGARMIN, 4MNAD83Kay Izlar, Jennifer Hintz2FlatFlat (n/Low levelislandGlacial Deposits: Lacustrine and fluvial depositsRiverinep@Cold-deciduousBroad-leavedShrubland 2 - 10m0.5 - 2 m9@+ki102-0212SALDRU/CALCAN, PICENG/SALDRUCARAQU/MIXED FORBS3/P+50:50vvrfffffffffff[[PPPE7''d^^7+whhhhh]RH]U>f0ATA0ATA s@ @@GLAC.1210AAGL.1210GRABARPark Special 2Gravel Bar Early Successional VegetationGLAC3@*PLGR, 8MNAD83Kay Izlar,Dorothy Wallace-Senft,Jennifer Hintz,Sara Lubinski,Steve Cooper2ModerateSStream bankerosional stream terracecoarse alluviumUplandJ@)6@Cold-deciduousBroad-leavedWoodland 2 - 5 m 2 - 5 m0.5 - 2 m <0.5 mTHIS IS A TRAINING PLOT.0:1DWS100-00133+/15:95/  ~~rrffff^M3&&$$phhhhh]RHwU2fAdTAAdTA y@d@GLAC.1208AAGL.1208ELYREP/TAROFFCEGL005868Elymus repens Semi-natural Herbaceous VegetationGLACNORTH SHORE OF LAKE SHERBURNEGARMIN, 5MNAD83Kay Izlar, Dorothy Wallace-Senft2GentleSBasin floorLakeshoreGlacial Deposits: Lacustrine and fluvial depositsLacustrineF@)Herb-perennialGraminoidHerbaceous vegetation0 : 1ki100-0163NANA~~~~r?4''%%whhhhh]RHWUU2`LVAL D dPOLYGON WAS LONG AND NARROW WITH AN INCLUSION ON THE EDGE/ INCLUSION WAS 50/50 POPBST/POPTRE WITH 75% TOTAL COVER.ALTHOUGH TREE COVER WAS HIGH, DUE TO AN ISLAND EFFECT...RAISED GROUND, AND NO SALDRU WAS FOUND, OTHER WET SITE SALIX (ABET WITH LOW PERCENTAGES) AND THE PRESENCE OF THE APPROPRIATE FORBS LEAD US TO PICENG/SALDRU. THERE WAS ALSO 10% OF EQUARV, BUT THE DESCRIPTION OF THAT COMMUNITY TYPE DID NOT FIT AS WELL.Doesn't fit great. There is no S. drummondiana even though description says it almost exclusively dominates this habitat. The alt code PICENG/EQUARV doesn't match description very well, and PICENG/CORSER is a better fit in key but the roll of CORSER is not the same as the description. ELYGLA is a dominant grass here and EQUHYM is also present.Fits well, despite it being a patch surrounded by water on two sides and a dry PINCON forest on the other. Lots of CALSTR and rich forbs. Not many shrubs or forbs near the water on the edges.THIS WHOLE POLYGON IS BASICLY AND EDGE. AN ISLAND OF PICEA BOUNDED ON 2 SIDES BY A STREAM WITH A WILLOW/SEDGE WETLAND ON ONE SIDE AND A PINCON FOREST ON THE OTHER.No description at time of sampling plot so can't verify. We had such little CLIUNI, we figured we'd include the alt code with Acer (though that didn't have a description either). CYSFRA on cliffs along with fair amount of moss.This site has mostly Larix, but the key tells you to go to Abies first which seems messed up, but unfortunately there are no descriptions so can't verify. Thus we put both communities down.POLYGON CONTAINED SEVERAL COMMUNITY TYPES. GRAVEL BAR DOMINATED BY OXYTROPIS SPLENDENS. THERE WAS ALSO AN AREA DOMINATED BY CALCAN.PLOT IS AN ISLAND, EVALUATED WHOLE ISLAND. ISLAND WAS RINGED BY CARAQU, ISLAND GOT HIGHER IN MIDDLE WHERE COLONIZATION BY CONIFERS AND POPBST OCCURED. TREES WERE MORE OR LESS 25% OF ISLAND. KEYED TO SALDRU/CARUTR WITH THE INCLUSION OF CARAQU IN PLOT WITH OUT CARAQU KEYED TO SALDRU/CALCAN.

Matted down from cows in some areas.The forest is very dense and has a stream running through it.Plot has big trees with a lush understory. One deeper old channel in plot, plus an opening nearby; tried to keep plot in intact forest. Fair amount of snags along edge of drainage. Lots of spruce have major amounts of red needles.This plot has glaciallyand colluvially worked rocks and sand, etc., creating lots of microsites. Surface is undulating. Very mature trees have been broken by repeated disturbance.Near elk watering hole so everything very browsed. Above watering hole, typical aspen hillside. One huge, old PINCON.This polygon seems to be located in an old stream bed. It's in a definite trench with "banks" and there is a lot of young growth in an ecotone plant community so rather a mess with no clear dominant.Shrubby, steep slope between conifers and POPBAL. Seems avalanched. Ferns all matted down now; very robust shrubs. Willows are tree-like.Patchy, edge forest with lots of gaps. Old trees with lots of shrubs and forbs.Lots of blow down around plot with lots of openings. Very patchy.Forest with draw nearby. Lots of old, downed snags in entire area.Plot is in a swale - surrounded by patchy openness. To the east is thicker lodgepole. Significant downed snags in area.Dense patch of Picea so undergrowth minimal.Dense canopy, with old dying PINCON and fair amount of downed wood.MATURE PINCON BEGINNING TO OPEN UP, REGENERATION,Polygon is a tree island; all around are open communities. Stream runs through plot, creating a little opening with 2 types of Salix and Alnus; the rest of the island is pretty dense so not as many forbs.Raised old rockpile; lots of moss, rock and litter.Trees in plot half blown down. This is in a bit of an ecotone.This plot is situated close to a road and a tree gap in the canopy so some disturbance influence.OPEN DRY FOREST SITE, DUFF, LITTER 30%STAND LOCATED FAIRLY HIGH ON MODERATELY STEEP SLOPE ABOVE MATURE PSEMEN FOREST.VACCAE AND CLIUNI WERE PATCHY BUT PRESENT.

ALL SALIX WAS SHORT IN STATURE. ELACOM WAS THE DOMINATE SHRUB.Went with AMEALN since it's first in the key, but lots of SYMALB, too - more than usual, so could have fit with SYMALB.EDGE WAS MOISTER WITH HIGHER CONCENTRATIONS OF ROSWOO, AMEALN AND PHLPRA. SKIPPED OVER KEY LEAD FOR FESIDA/POTDIV BECAUSE PLOT WAS NOT HIGH ALPINE.DASFLO-FESCAM COMMUNITY TYPE SEEMS TO BE TRANSITIONAING TO THE INVADED COMMUNITY TYPE OF PHLPRA-POAPRA. NOW EACH OF THE COMMUNITIES REPRESENTS ABOUT HALF OF THE PLOT.VERY DRIED UP, HOPE WE GOT MOST OF IT! AMLALN WAS BROWSED AND CLUMPY. LOTS OF GRASSES AND A CHANCE THAT THE PLOT WILL BE INVADED BY BROINE AND PHLPRA.This meadow has a variety of dominating carices, but the plot we picked had more CARBUX; it didn't fit the description that well, which could be because only one was sampled for the key and it is on the west side. Around the plot, the dominant carex is CARLAS.COULD NOT KEY- NEARLY ALL PLANTS NOT ON INDICATOR LIST.KEYED EASILY TO VEG CODE. PLOT IS AT THE EDGE OF A DRYED POND; POND IS INCLUDED IN POLYGON. DESCRIPTION IS CHARACTERISTIC OF PLOT.PLOT KEYED EASILY AND WAS REPRESENTATIVE OF COMMUNITY TYPE.PLOT KEYED EASILY AND WAS REPRESENTATIVE OF COMMUNITY TYPE.Fit well. Quite a few forbs not on indicator list so wrote them in (see species list).Really doesn't fit any of the community types mentioned or otherwise; the Betula is probably BETGLA rather than BETOCC, especially considering the description for BETOCC is way off. Seems like a new type - BETGLA/CAREX fen or the like. Moss on ground looks sort of like Drepanocladus uncinatus. Have lots of orchids (Platanthera sp.), as well as Antennaria pulcherrima, lots of liverwort (Marchantia sp.), and a willow only found in this area (S. candida).NO COMMUNITY TYPE DESCRIPTION FOR MENFER-XERTEN OR RIBLAC.

The plot is in a more open and gappy part of the forest, but still lots of tree cover.Little edgy and patchy with POPTRE thicker in places. Lots of openings - near willow thicker (on far E edge).RAPIRIAN AREA, PLOT PART OF A DRY STREAM BED. LARGE TREES!Right on edge of creek so very lush, diverse vegetation. Huge old spruce.LARGER POPBAL AS WELL AS ABILAS AND PICENG WERE ON PERIPHERY OF PLOT.Old stream channel, now covered with moss and moist vegetation. Big trees similar to #1298.Point was on big rock outcrop which did not match polygon on map. Thus we moved it to be in the treed area that the polygon seemed to represent. Moose droppings. VACMEM seems very stunted and more sparse, probably because of the greater amount of bedrockMoist, old stream floodplain with lots of moist forbs. Big, old spruce.

THERE WAS NO DESCRIPTION TO COMPARE THE SITE TO. UNDERSTORY VEG WAS VERY SPARSE. THERE WAS HIGH AMOUNTS OF DECAYING WOOD AND SOME MOSS COVER.VERY MATURE FOREST, LARGE BEAUTIFUL. WE DID NOT HIKE INTO THE PLOT BUT KEYED IT FROM SWHERE THE PLOYGON MEETS THE TRAIL, (LACK OF TIME). THE CLASSIC OF THIS COMMUNITY TYPE.OPENINGS IN CANOPY OROVIDE AREAS FOR TALL SHRUBS TO FILL IN OTHER DOMINANTS NOT USED AS INDICATORS INCLUDE, ARNICA SP. OZMCHI, DROHOO, KEYED EASILY TO VEG CODE BUT THERE WAS NO DESCRIPTION TO COMPARE IT TO.The understory is so minimal, in fact, that it doesn't key to anything. Mostly Angelica dawsonii, which is why we put the alt type that we did.Doesn't fit any type well, but seems to have many elements of the primary type we chose. No description at the time, so hard to verify. Despite name, no STRAMP present. Wet area confined to area around stream, though, so bit tough trying to deal with two different types (stream-side and dense forest) in a very small area. STEOCC next to stream.No description since there were no plots of this done so can't confirm ID. No CALRUB at all and not really enough CARGEY to go with that type. The ARCUVI is a bit out of the plot, so couldn't go with that one either. We have a lot of AMEALN, but not mentioned in the PINCON key, so the fit isn't great. There is a bunch of SHECAN and RIBVIS and 1 LAROCC in plot!!In the homogeneous part of the polygon, there is mostly CALRUB, but since there was sufficient CLUNI, had to go with PINCON/CLIUNI type.The community type didn't fit too well, since there was little CLIUNI and a fair amount of VACMYR, but could have been because of open areas nearby creating forb flushes. We had a greater canopy cover of PINCON and more mixed forbs and dwarf shrubs than the description. We found LISCAU, LISCOR, GOOOBL, CORSTR and CORMAC - lots of orchids!

OUTSIDE OF MMU BU WITHIN PLOYGON WAS A CONIFER FOREST THAT APPEARED TO HAVE ABILAS AND PICENG. THERE WERE ALSO A FEW POPBST AT EDGE OF MMU. TREES WERE PROBABLY OLDER THAN INDICATED BY THEIR DIAMETER AND HEIGHT.Didn't fit. In an ecotone plant community so rather a mess with no clear dominant. Some areas are a lot grassier and some have thicker trees. Plants from different community types all mixed together. It might be convenient to have an old water channel community type with diverse tree, forb and graminoid layers.THERE IS ANOTHER MORE DISTURBED SITE (SNOWSLIDE AREA?) WITHIN MMU WITH MOSTLY THE SAME SPECIES, FEWER LARGE TREES AND THICKER HER AND SHRUB LAYER. MORE CHAANG, AMEALN, ACEGLA, PHAHAS. TRAIL BORDER UPPER BORDER OF PLOT, LAKE BELOW SOME SCREE IN PLOT.

SAME POLE SIZED ABILAS ARE DYING IN AREA.Fit. Saw CLIUNI but believe it to be confined to moist microsites.

THE MME IS RELATIVELY HOMOGENOUS IN BOTH COVER AND SLOPE. KEYING WAS RELATIVELY STRAIGHT FORWARD.THIS PLOT AT THE TOP OF A DOME, OTHER SIDE HAS A 22 ASPECT. KEYED EASILY TO VEG CODE. DESCRIPTION WAS CHARACTERISTIC OF PLOT ALTHOUGH TREES WERE NOT AS TALL AS INDICATED. PSEMEN AND PICENG WERE IN THE MMU BUT OUT OF THE PLOT.OUR POINT WAS CENTERED IN AN AREA THAT WAS DOMINATED BY PSEMEN BUT SURROUNDED BY PINCON FORESTS. A BIT MESSY BECAUSE OF AVALANCH ACTIVITYA bit different from description; drier, has PINCON (though small amount), in conjunction with PSEMEN with much less abundance and diversity of forbs. The dwarf shrub layer is spread out; SYMALB, SPIBET and MAHREP are all nearly codominant.ALTHOUGH THE COVER OF SYMALB IS RATHER LOW AND THE PSEMEN HAD VERY HIGH COVER, THE DESCRIPTION OF THIS COMMUNITY TYPE FIT QUITE WELL. THIS IS AN ISLAND OF PSEMEN IN A SEA OF GRASSLAND.ALTHOUGH THIS PLOT KEYED RELATIVELY SMOOTHLY TO ABILAS-PICENG/VALSIT IT DID NOT HAVE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A WOODLAND. IN MANY AREAS THE CNAOPY WAS NEARLY CLOSED WITH LITTLE UNDERSTORY GROWTH. IF THAOCC WAS NOT DOMINANT IN THE HERB LAYER WE MAY HAVE KEYED IT TO THE ALTERNATIVE VEG CODE BUT ACEGLA COVER MAY HAVE BEEN LESS THAN 15% COVER.TRANSITIONAL AREA, WIND FALL HAS OPENED UP AREA TO POPTRE, SLOPE ABOVE IS GENERALLY PSEMEN; PLOT HAS LARGE PICENG AND PINCON; REGENERATION BY ABILASWith the stream increasing the wet site species, we still had barely 3% of the forbs required for this community type. Still, it fit fairly well. At the time, we did not have the description for the alternative code so can't really know if that one fits better. It really seems a combination of the two, what with the stream.

Some plants dying out, so hard to determine their cover (such as OSMOCC and SENHYD). In the peak of lushness, could have been enough mesic forb cover for mesic forb type.Figured we'd put the major type as the meadow and do the tree islands as all part of an inclusion. Also scattered conifers, but in undifferentiated clumps. Very dried up; starting to get hard to distinguish between some of the grasses.KEYED EASILY BUT THERE WAS NO CALRUB HERE (HIGH CONSTANCY SPP. IN DESCRIPTION). OTHER COMMON SPP. INCLUDE FESOCC. PAXMYR, PROHOO. VERY OPEN UNDERSTORY-OPENING IN FOREST HAVE MORE ACEGLA.IT WAS DIFFICULT FINDING A HOMOGENUS AREA IN WHICH TO PLACE THE PLOT. THE AREA WAS HIGHLY VARIABLE. THERE WERE NUMEROUS OPENINGS IN THE FOREST CANOPY WHERE SHRUB COMMUNITIES DOMINATED. CLIUNI WAS SCATTERED IN PLOT BUT WAS NOT ABUNDANT - WE DID NOT FEEL IT WAS LIMITED TO MICROHABITATS. IF WAS LIMITED TO MICRO HABITATS WE ENDED UP KEYING IT TO THE ALTERNATIVE VEG CODE. ASTER CONSPICUOUS PRESENT IN PLOT (TRACE).THE VEG CODE WE KEYED THIS TO MODERATELY DESCRIBED THIS PLOT LAROCC IS NOT PRESENT (EAST-SIDE OF PARK). CLIUNI, ALTHOUGH NOT CONFINED TO MICRO-SITES DID NOT HAVE 5% COVER. IF WE KEYED THE SITE BASED ON CLIUNI BEING IN MICROSITE (WHICH IT WASN'T) WE ARRIVED AT AN UNDEFINED COMMUNITY. THERE WAS A SMALL OPEN AREA (3 SQUARE METERS) ON THE SOUTH BOUNDRY OF THE PLOT IT HAD HOLDIS AND AMEALN AS ITS DOMINATE SPECIES.Fits description really well despite not having quite 5% Cornus. However, Cornus looks very browsed so went with this type. Lots of Osmorhiza chilensis, similar to description. Can't tell Violas apart right now, but since description says V. glabella, assuming it is that one.-  ABfATAATA y@P  @GLAC.1797AAGL.1797UNDEFINED PSEMENA.157Pseudotsuga menziesii Forest AllianceGLAC&@CGARMIN, 11MNAD83Kay Izlar,Dorothy Wallace-Senft2Somewhat steepEHigh slopehigh slopeSlope & Modified Deposits: Colluvial - argilliteUpland@%@GEvergreenNeedle-leavedForest15 - 20 m10 - 15 m0.5 - 2 m <0.5 m2:3 CREEK,FAR,STEEPDWS101-01216/6100:0xmmaaUUUUMzhhhhh]RH}U2f8A@}TA8A@}TA u@9 2@GLAC.1788AAGL.1788PSEMEN-UNDEFINEDA.157Pseudotsuga menziesii Forest AllianceACEGLACEGL001061Acer glabrum Avalanche Chute ShrublandGLACSUN POINT DRIVE SLOPEGARMIN, 10MNAD83Mel Waggy, Jennifer Hintz2SteepNELowslopehillslope bedrock outcropGlacial Deposits: Bedrock and tillUpland@GEvergreenNeedle-leavedForest > 50 m35 - 50 m0.5 - 35 m 2 - 5 m0.5 - 2 m <0.5 m0 : 1+ VERY STEEP BUT SHORTki1788ACEGLA6/4100:0^KF>>884          nSIIEE><!!!!!!     zhhhhh]RHqU:f2A$TA2A$TA @|@(2 2`@GLAC.1786AAGL.1786ABILAS-PICENG/CLIUNICEGL005912Abies lasiocarpa - Picea engelmannii / Clintonia uniflora ForestGLAC3@CGARMIN, 8.2MNAD83Kay Izlar,Dorothy Wallace-Senft2Somewhat steepSELowslopecolluvial slopeSlope & Modified Deposits: ColluvialUpland@%@EvergreenNeedle-leavedForest20 - 35 m15 - 35 m 2 - 5 m 2 - 5 m0.5 - 2 m <0.5 m1:BP2 DISTANCEDWS102-02195+/5+100:03  sssskE4**&&~hhhhh]RHU2f>A@TA>A@TA @|@$ P`@GLAC.177AAGL.177AMEALN/BUNCHCEGL001065Amelanchier alnifolia / Pseudoroegneria spicata - Bunchgrass ShrublandPOPBST/RUBPARA.311Populus balsamifera ssp. trichocarpa Temporarily Flooded Forest AllianceGLAC(@CGARMIN, 7MNAD83Kay Izlar,Dorothy Wallace-Senft2GentleELowslopestream terrace (undifferentiated)Sedimentary Rocks: SandstoneUpland-@%@ECold-deciduousBroad-leavedShrubland 2 - 5 m0.5 - 2 m <0.5 m1:BP2DWS102-0214POPBST/RUBPARP/P100:0wd_PPFFA..........$zzxxpnMMMMMMF:::::.((tfffff\RHqw}U:fl%A@TAl%A@TA {@ (<@GLAC.1763AAGL.1763PSEMEN/SYMALB FORESTCEGL000459Pseudotsuga menziesii / Symphoricarpos albus ForestGLAC"ABOVE WILD GOOSE ISLAND TURN OFFGARMIN, 6.1MNAD83Jen Asebrook, Jennifer Hintz, Mel Waggy2Somewhat steepSWToeslopeLOWER 1/3Slope & Modified Deposits: Solifluction, landslideUplandt@EEvergreenNeedle-leavedForest > 50 m10 - 15 m 5 - 10 m0.5 - 2 m <0.5 m0:1ki17634/3+100:02\QGGCC31~hhhhh]RH}U2LVAL0 * On an ecotone with Picea on one side and Pseudotsuga on the other so sort of have both veg code types chosen. If we moved uphill more would be in alt code type. Seems to designate the switch from lake-edge forest to upland forest.Since there are trees, the alt code doesn't technically work, but figured we'd throw it in since the understory is totally the alt code type. Similar to #444 save the trees and less EQUARV.No fit, probably because the disturbed nature of area (edge of lake Sherberne) creates unusual community types. We found Puccinellia pauciflora (we believe) growing straight and tall under aspen canopy. 5 of 6 species are not indicator species, but included on species list anyway (so see that for species). In inclusion also have HIEODO, JUNBAL, lots more TAROFF and Carex sp.Keys out well to veg code chosen, but it is interesting we have so much Carex rupestris and the remnant of the PINFLE forest. Must be a harsh site (or very limestone rich) so is mimicking a higher elevation. Also found Artemisia campestris and dried Astragalus & Oxytropis.Didn't key to anything. Seems like we should have a community type with either PSEMEN or ABILAS-PICENG and sparse understory - we encountered it several times. We had a little dried up stream running through which is why we had GALTRI and MITBRE (or MITPEN).AREA IS BORDED BY ROCK OUTCROP TO THE WEST.

The aspect is a bit more southerly so that may have coaxed some of the mesic forbs lower. Also there is a gap above which probably helped dry it out. Pretty crispy vegetation.Gravel and sand substrate so have lots of ELACOM in understory (looks like it is being succeeded), so threw in that alt code; and it also describes the more gravel bar part of the community.APPROX. 1/3 OF PLOT IS STREAMBEAD.

CALCAN ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE FOREST OPENING.DUE TO THE HIGH COVER OF ARCUVA, THIS KEYS DIRECTLY TO PINCON/VACCAE. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO VACCAE PRESENT IN THIS PLOT OR CLIUNI, WHICH ARE BOTH SAID TO ALWAYS BE PRESENT IN THIS HABITAT TYPE IN THE DESCRIPTIONS, IN THE KEY IT SAYS "VACCAE OR ARCUVA". THERE IS NO OTHER HABITAT THAT THIS KEYS TO, PINCON IS THE ONLY SPP. IN UPPER TREE STRATUM. THIS SITE HAS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF DOWNED OLD SNAGS, AS WELL AS SOME BARE SOIL AREAS COVERED IN SMALL ROCK. WITHIN THE MMU THE ASPECT ON THE EASTERN SIDE SWITCHES MORE TO THE SOUTH.MMU WAS A PATCH WORK OF FESIDA/POTDIV (SURVIED ON THE HIGHER DRYER AREAS) WITH WET INCLUSIONS OF SALSIT/FORBS AND SENTRI (NEAR A SMALL STREAM). SENTRI, MEMLEW, SYMFOL, VERVIR IN SENTRI INCLUSION.PHYEMP COVER IS APPROX. 10% BUT DESCRIPTION FOR THIS COMMUNITY TYPE FITS VERY WILL. IF KEYED W/LESS THAN 10% KEYS TO SALARC/CARNIG OR SALNIV/CALLEP (NO DESCRIPTION). COMMUNITY IS AN ISOLATED DWARF SHRUBLAND @ THE BOTTOM OF A STEEP SLOPE-BELOW IS A SCREE SLOPE W/SNOWFIELDS BELOW. SLOPE IS PROBABLY LESS IN PLOT - TOOK A SLOPE OVER 2 BENCHES. THIS COMMUNITY IS A SERIES OF BENCHES (3) OTHER GRASSES PRESENT: POA(ALP?) PHEALP, TRISPI, JUNMER ALL ARE ABUNDANT.FAIRLY REPRESENTATIVE OF MMU. CUMMULATIVE COVER OF VERVIR AND HERSPH IS CLOSE TO 3%. RECENTLY MELTED SNOW AREA, BUT LATER THAN PLOT 1. ERYGRA DONE BLOOMING.OSMOCC DOMINATE IN HERBACEOUS LAYER WITH HERMAX VERY SPARSE. A WIDE VARIETY OF GRASSES WERE PRESENT. PATCHES OF DISTURBED AREAS AND LOTS OF EDGE EFFECT SPECIES PRESENT DUE TO SMALL SIZE OF POLYGON.The trees were stunted and overall, did not amount to 25%. AMEALN lower on slope (not in plot), but more JUNCOM and ARVCUVA around the point, so the type picked fit better. The alt code works a bit, but doesn't accurately describe the more meadow-like character of this plot, so together, get the idea.I | wf,AzTA,AzTA @ 2x# Y @N(GLAC.2037AAGL.2037DRYOCT/CARRUPCEGL001892Dryas octopetala - Carex rupestris Dwarf-shrub Herbaceous VegetationGLACS OF PAPPOSE MT6M, DOP1.5GARMIN NAD83NAD83Justin West, Kay Izlar2ModerateEHigh slopeslopeSedimentary Rocks: Calcareous rockUplandDRY, ROCKY, WINDROWSMOSSEvergreenBroad-leavedDwarf shrubland 2 - 5 m 1 - 2 m <0.5 m <0.5 m(G:G) CLASSICCJW20372NA&    rrrrjF?3311'%      whhhhh]RHb2fATAATA `@(x5 Y( @N(GLAC.2028AAGL.2028DRYOCT/CARRUPCEGL001892Dryas octopetala - Carex rupestris Dwarf-shrub Herbaceous VegetationGLAC LEE RIDGE7M, DOP1.7GARMIN NAD83NAD83Justin West, Kay Izlar2GentleNWHigh levelridgeSedimentary Rocks: Calcareous rockUplandEvergreenBroad-leavedDwarf shrubland <0.5 m <0.5 m\@9CJW20285NAwlllllllld@9--))!whhhhh]RHb2fAØTAAØTA w@ @@GLAC.2AAGL.2ABILAS-PICENG/STRAMP-LUZGLACEGL005920Abies lasiocarpa - Picea engelmannii / Streptopus amplexifolius - Luzula glabrata var. hitchcockii WoodlandGLACPRESTON PARK 2PLGR, 9.3NAD83Jennifer Hintz, Mel Waggy2ModerateWHigh slopeglaciated uplandsGlacial Deposits: TillUplandn@I8@OEvergreenNeedle-leavedWoodland8 : 3 DISTANCEKItaUUSSIG,,,,,,%bbbbbZRHWUUf,AӤTA,AӤTA t@<  d@@GLAC.1992AAGL.1992POPTRE-HERMAXCEGL000595Populus tremuloides / Heracleum maximum ForestGLAC!30 MIN WALK ABOVE CASSIDY CURVEGARMIN, 6.9NAD83Kay Izlar, Dorothy Wallace-Senft2ModerateSEHigh slopecolluvial slopeSlope & Modified Deposits: Solifluction, landslideUpland@OCold-deciduousBroad-leavedWoodland 5 - 10 m 5 - 10 m0.5 - 2 m <0.5 m1 : 3 DISTANCEki100-00216-/5+ 0 : 100,}I8,,((whhhhh]RH}U2flhATAlhATA x@<Z@GLAC.1991AAGL.1991POPTRE/HERMAXCEGL000595Populus tremuloides / Heracleum maximum ForestGLACN OF TWO DOG FLATSGARMIN, 5MNAD83Kay Izlar,Dorothy Wallace-Senft2ModerateELowslopelower slopeSlope & Modified Deposits: ColluvialUpland]@ I@Cold-deciduousBroad-leavedForest15 - 20 m10 - 15 m 1 - 2 m0.5 - 2 m <0.5 m2:2 DISTANCEDWS101-01146-/5+5:95xxll````X2% whhhhh]RHU2:  [fA)TAA)TA @#x0Y( `@N(GLAC.2058AAGL.2058DRYOCT / CARRUPCEGL001892Dryas octopetala - Carex rupestris Dwarf-shrub Herbaceous VegetationGLAC&@C6M, DOP 1.6GARMINNAD83Kay Izlar, Justin West2Somewhat steepNMidslopehillslope bedrock outcropCALCAREOUS ROCKUplandMOSSEvergreenBroad-leavedDwarf shrubland0.5 - 1 m <0.5 m <0.5 m GOOD:GOOD5@+KI20584100:0ticcccccc[J/%%##yhhhhh]RHr2fPA TAPA TA @& x0 Y ( @N(GLAC.2057AAGL.2057DRYOCT/CARRUPCEGL001892Dryas octopetala - Carex rupestris Dwarf-shrub Herbaceous VegetationGLACGABLE PASS TRAIL4M, DOP1.1GARMIN NAD83NAD83Justin West, Kay Izlar2ModerateNHigh slopebenchSedimentary Rocks: Limestone and DolomiteUpland WINDROWSEvergreenBroad-leavedDwarf shrubland 1 - 2 m <0.5 m <0.5 m(G:G) YUP, AGAINCJW20572NAzzzzrG@4422(&whhhhh]RH%b2f$APTA$APTA @T xPY< @N(GLAC.2052AAGL.2052DRYOCT/CARRUPCEGL001892Dryas octopetala - Carex rupestris Dwarf-shrub Herbaceous VegetationGLACGABLE PASS TRAIL4M, DOP1.2GARMIN NAD83NAD83Justin West, Kay Izlar2ModerateNMidslopeslopeSedimentary Rocks: Limestone and DolomiteUplandEvergreenBroad-leavedDwarf shrubland 2 - 5 m 1 - 2 m <0.5 m <0.5 m@9BLISTER RUST ON P.

THIS POLYGON APPEARED TO BE WOODED ON AERIAL PHOTO BUT GPS WAS IN OPEN AREA THAT ENCOMPASSED THE DEMENSIONS OF THE POLYGON.We seem to have two intertwining types: we have a lot of the components of the V-V one, except it doesn't mention SENTRI. We have lots of SENTRI, even as basal rosettes in the rockier areas, but none of the wetter components of the SENTRI type. We have a lot of ELYTRT which is not at all covered in the key, so couldn't really use it to key out. On rockier edge of vegetation have lots of PHAHAS-PENELI. Never got that description, so can't verify its ID. Also lots of Poas and Chamerion latifolium scattered throughout (which is why we figured there must be some limestone in the rock).The key went to AMEALN/MIXED, which sounded ok, but there is so much SYM spp that we put that as the alt code. The SYMOCC description sounded best despite the fact that this appears to be SYMALB. Some exotics, including Trifolium sp.ALTHOUGH THIS WOULD LEAGALY BE KEYED AS A SEDGE DOMINATED PLANT ASSO. THE FORBS WERE BASICLY CORRECT FOR THE VALSIT-VERVIR COMMUNITY ASSO. CARSCI WERECORRECT SEDGES (WHAT DID I MEAN?)

ON LOWER PART OF PLOYGON IN A STABLE (LARGE BOLDERS) DEPRESSION IN SCREE SLOPE, PICTURE # 100-0025In keying both the code chosen and the alt. code, both had properties of the plot, but neither fit it well. The DASFLO could have been up to 15% if we'd moved the plot a bit, but there weren't really other shrubs to support it. Lots of species of both are mentioned in the descriptions. Lots of dried up moss and Selaginella sp. so once was moist; also has the characteristics of a dry meadow. Many species very dried up, making ID difficult.Keyed out well, just interesting to note the addition of Dryas octapetala. Also lots of dry lichens and flat, slaty rock pieces.Not a good fit since the BROMAR is a wet vegetation type and this is dry scree, but we do have enough grass. Also put in the SAXBRO, which isn't good on its own, but together, you get the idea. We had only BROINP and not BROMAR. Scattered Ribes sp and Rubus idaeus throughout.Fits fine. About 25% cover of moss (Rhacomitrium sp. I think). Plants are all dried up so some hard to ID. A fair amount of Poa sp and Agrostis sp. Lots of Heuchera sp.WITHIN THE MMU THERE WAS SMALL VARIATION IN THE HABITAT (SOME PINCON CLUSTERS) BUT THE PLOT WAS PLACD IN THE SITE WITH GREATER COVER. KEYED EASILY AND DESCRIPTION WAS CHARACTERISTIC OF SITE. PLOT 2215 MAY HAVE ALSO BEEN WITHIN THE POLYGON, BUT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO TELL DUE TO PLACEMENT OF THE POINT ON THE BOUNDRY LINE.

OTHER SPECIES PRESENT IN THE PLOT ARE BALSAG, PENCON, POACOM, ANTENNARIA SPP. (NOT UMBRINELLA) 1+, CASMIN. WE DO NOT HAVE THE DESCRIPTION FOR THIS COMMUNITY TYPE, SO DO NOT KNOW HOW WELL IT FITS THE DESCRIPTION. THIS IS A VERY SMALL POLYGON - PLOT ENCOMPOSSES MOST OF IT. TREES IN PLOT ARE PROBABLY ENCROUCHING FORM ADJACENT CONIFEROUS FOREST.THIS PLOT ASSO. KEYED EASILY TO THIS VEG CODE BUT NO DESCRIPTION WAS AVAILABLE TO COMPARE IT TO. THIS SITE WAS HEAVILY DISTURBED BY A SOCIAL TRAIL.ALTHOUGH POPBST WAS THE DOMINATE TREE NO POPBST COMMUNITY TYPE FIT. PINFLE/ARCUVA DESCRIPTION FIT WELL BUT WE HAD JUNCOM AS THE DOMINATE SHRUB; THIS IS A PROBLEM WE OFTEN RUN IN TO.Didn't fit well. Our tree cover in canopy is on the edge of being enough for a forest type so threw in XERTEN as an alt type; not that it fits well, but has the subalpine, rocky characterisitics of this plot. Definitely a mix of different types even though seemingly homogeneous within itself.There are 2 community types intermingling: the more open forest located along a bench with greater cover of MENFER and less tree cover, and the forest on the slopes with greater canopy cover and almost no shrubs. Point in more open forest so made that our primary type. Moss cover is about 35% in alt code type.Not a great fit. Just barely enough ARCUVA, so put in alt codes to give a better idea. Need to substitute PENLYA for PENFRU and disregared the DASFLO to even make the alt codes work, so a bit of a mix. Again, lots of dried up plants hard to ID.Fit pretty well, except this had a steeper slope and more presences of subalpine/alpine herbs, maybe because it's in a transition zone or the upper edge of this community type's elevational limit.More shrubs than #2259, so picked this type, since also less grass diversity, though a good amount of Danthonia.

Dried forbs are to ID, but probably didn't figure into community typing anyway.Type doesn't fit and doesn't seem to be described; this is a shrubland with CRADOU and RHAALN. The only one close is CORSER - as it does mention the above two shrubs, but it isn't a good fit (and we have no CORSER).MMU INCLUDES AN OLD RIVER BED. DENSITY OF SHRUBS, SAPLINGS AND HERBS HIGHLY VARIABLE IN RIVER BED. MMU BOARDERED BY ROCK OUT CROP ON ITS NORTH/WEST BOUNDRY.OLD/ TRANSITIONING FROM A RIVER BED COMMUNITY TYPE. DID NOT KEY OUT IN ABILAS-PICENG. WE HAVE COMMONLY SEEN THIS TYPE NEAR RIVER BANKS, LARGE DIVERSITY OF SPECIES LOW COVER.Not quite enough shrub to be the CORSER type so did undefined.

All dried out.Plot in drier opening than plot #1029, but still the same fen stringer meadow complex. This section has no moss. To the S, near the stream, there is moss and a species composition more similar to #1029.A dense willow thicket partially in water. Not many forbsWillow thicket on edge of St. Mary Lake - practically impenetrable.Plot on top of riverbank flooded by beaver pond complex, so very marshy. Stream meandering across bank, so did plot 11m SE of GPS point (we'd already been through enough streams to get there).There are lots of snags throughout plot and polygon - probably greater than 50% cover.

LESS THAN 10% LIVE PINFLE. POINT WAS ON THE EDGE BETWEEN TWO POLYGONS AS WELL AS 2 COMMUNITY ASSO. PLACED THE PLOT WITHIN THE LOWER POLYGON, UTM COORDINATES ARE AS FOLLOWS: 0306336, 5410036. WALKED ALMOST THE ENTIRE POLYGON AND IT WAS A CONSISTANT MIX OF MATURE MIXED CONIFER SPECIES WITH PATCHES OF POPTRE IN WETTER AREAS/AVALANCHE SHOOTS. NO ARCURV.There are barely enough trees for a woodland, but classified it as such anyway since it fit best. There is definitely more JUNCOM than ARCUVI.The community keys to PINFLE/JUNCOM, but not having the description we couldn't verify it. Since we had such a small amount of trees, we put the alt type in. Also didn't have quite the right combination. The alt. type seems quite specialized, but did have some of the components we have. We had 10% Shepherdia which was our most abundant shrub - none of the others were overwhelmingly dominant.Doesn't key out. Mesic, lush forbs with medium-sized DASFLO and a mostly dead canopy (only one patch of trees). Seep probably changes plant composition into a unique DASFLO-mesic forbs one so a bit of an anomaly. Lots of Artemisia ludoviciana, Mondarda and Hackelia macrantha.NOT SURE IF THIS PLANT IS PENFRU( AS LESSICA SAYS IT DOES NOT EXIST IN PARK) OR IF THIS PLANT IS PENLYA WHICH IS NOT ON OUR INDICATOR LIST. IF PENFRU WAS REPLACED WITH PENLYA WOULD BE A GOOD FIT.LOWER PORTION OF SCREE SLOPE, UNDULATING SLOPE, SNOWFIELD ON SLOPE, SALIX VESTITA IS DOMINANT COVER. IF PHASER AND/OR PENELL WERE PRESENT IN GREATER AMOUNTS IT WOULD HAVE KEYED TO THE ALTERNATIVE VEG CODE.Fits very nicely (but no Poa - it's not even in the description!) but with more SYMALB. Lots of Selaginella sp. on the rocks. Some things we couldn't ID because dried up, but probably not on the indicator list anyway. Lots of Heuchera and Penstemon (albertinus?) and a different Rose.(A  @f\AlTA\AlTA u@d `@GLAC.489AAGL.489UNDEFINED SPARSE VEG - GRAMINOID OR FORB TYPEPark Special 5Undefined Sparse VegetationGLACA@DCPLGR, 10MNAD83Kay Izlar,Dorothy Wallace-Senft2SteepSEHigh sloperock fall avalancheSedimentary Rocks: Siltstone/sandstoneUpland@`@Herb-perennialGraminoidSparse vegetation <0.5 m <0.5 m7:4 DISTANCE, STEEP, TIMEDWS100-0044 (Dorothy in photo)0/0  }}qqeeee]5  fffff\RHWUfA@TAA@TA @Ux Y @N(GLAC.488AAGL.488SAXBROCEGL005902Saxifraga bronchialis Scree Slope Sparse VegetationUNDEFINEDPark Special 5Undefined Sparse VegetationGLAC#@CC7M, DOP1.7GARMIN NAD83NAD83Justin West, Kay Izlar2Somewhat steepEMidslopedrainageSedimentary Rocks: Calcareous rockUplandMOSSEvergreenMicrophyllousSparse vegetation <0.5 m@9@*+CJW488UNDEFINED1NA~ZPFFDD42znfffff\RHr6f\oATA\oATA @y@P @ GLAC.487AAGL.487PENFRU (PENLYA)Park Special 1Penstemon ellipticus Dwarf-shrublandGLAC:@BCGARMIN, 10MNAD83Kay Izlar, Dorothy Wallace-Senft2SteepSMidslopecolluvial slopeSedimentary Rocks: SandstoneUpland:@`@hHerb-perennialBroad leaf herbaceousSparse vegetation0.5 - 2 m <0.5 m 0 : 3 STEEPki100-0137T/O0:100iYYMMAAAA9 wfffff\RHW}U2fܞATAܞATA w@D`@GLAC.483AAGL.483UNDEFINED SPARSE VEG/FORB COMMUNITYCEGL005901Phacelia hastata - (Penstemon ellipticus) Sparse VegetationPHAHAS-PENELLCEGL005901Phacelia hastata - (Penstemon ellipticus) Sparse VegetationGLACPRESTON PARK SCREE SLOPEPLGR, 5.9MNAD83Jennifer Hintz, Mel Waggy2Somewhat steepSHigh slopelower 1/3 of slopeGlacial Deposits: Bedrock and tillUpland@hHerb-perennialBroad leaf herbaceousSparse vegetation0.5 - 2 m8 : 4, SCREE, DISTANCEki483PHAHAS-PENELLNANAwssd__[77777777777,,,,,kkkkkkdXXXXX2,,,,,fffff\RHW]U6f{AXTA{AXTA w@*P 2@GLAC.477AAGL.477PSESPI-POASECCEGL001065Amelanchier alnifolia / Pseudoroegneria spicata - Bunchgrass ShrublandGLAC,@ACGARMIN, 6MNAD83Kay Izlar,Dorothy Wallace-Senft2SteepSELowslopecliffSedimentary Rocks: Sandstone and argilliteUplande@`>@hHerb-perennialGraminoidHerbaceous vegetation 2 - 5 m 1 - 2 m0.5 - 2 m <0.5 m5:3 DISTANCE, STEEPDWS100-0084T/0100:0 yymmaaaaY-&ufffff\RHU2H flA@TAlA@TA t@   @GLAC.56AAGL.56UNDEFINED MIXED CONIFERCEGL000418Pseudotsuga menziesii / Acer glabrum ForestPSEMEN/?, PINFLE/?A.540Pinus flexilis Woodland AlliancePOPTRE-UNDEFINEDA.274Populus tremuloides Forest AllianceGLACNEAR APPIKUNI FALLSPLGR 11MNAD83Kay Izlar, Dorothy Wallace-Senft2Somewhat steepSHigh slopehillslope bedrock outcropSedimentary Rocks: SiltstoneUpland>@hMixed evergreen - cold-deciduousNeedle-leavedForest 2 - 5 m 2 - 5 m0.5 - 2 m2 : 3, STEEPKI100-0030PSEMEN/?, PINFLE/?POPTRE-UNDEFINED60%/40%95:5zpplRRRRRRRRRRRGG<11)iiiiiibXXXXX711 }ddddd[RH]U>fA@cTAA@cTA t@ 2`@GLAC.55AAGL.55PINFLE/JUNCOMCEGL005830Arctostaphylos uva-ursi / Festuca campestris - Festuca idahoensis Dwarf-shrublandGLAC@@GCPLGR, 8MNAD83Kay Izlar,Dorothy Wallace-Senft2Somewhat steepSHigh slopecolluvial shoulderSedimentary Rocks: Siltstone - granite?Upland@`@hEvergreenNeedle-leavedWoodland 2 - 10 m 2 - 5 m0.5 - 2 m <0.5 m2:2 DISTANCEDWS100-00291+/1-100:0&   {{{{sJ6**((sddddd[RHwU2f8AУTA8AУTA y@2 @GLAC.51AAGL.51PINFLE/JUNCOMCEGL000802Pinus flexilis / Arctostaphylos uva-ursi WoodlandARCUVI-PSESPICEGL005831Arctostaphylos uva-ursi / Pseudoroegneria spicata Dwarf-shrublandGLACF@FCGARMIN, 6MNAD83Kay Izlar,Dorothy Wallace-Senft2ModerateSHigh slopecolluvial slopeSedimentary Rocks: Siltstone/sandstoneUplandt@`@hEvergreenNeedle-leavedWoodland 5 - 10 m 2 - 5 m 1 - 2 m0.5 - 2 m <0.5 m4:3 STEEP, FARDWS101-0150ARCUVI-PSESPI3-/2-100:0xe^^OEE@$$$$$$$$$$pddbbXV555555."""""sddddd[RHU6fA9TAA9TA y@p P@GLAC.50AAGL.50UNDEFINED SHRUBLANDCEGL001503Dasiphora fruticosa ssp. floribunda / Festuca campestris Shrub Herbaceous VegetationFESCAM-PSESPICEGL001629Festuca campestris - Pseudoroegneria spicata Herbaceous VegetationGLAC)@ECGARMIN, 16MNAD83Kay Izlar,Dorothy Wallace-Senft2Somewhat steepSHigh slopecolluvial slopeSedimentary Rocks: Siltstone - also limestone?Upland@`*@hCold-deciduousBroad-leavedShrubland 5 - 10 m 1 - 2 m0.5 - 2 m <0.5 m6:3 STEEP, FARDWS101-0152FESCAM-PSESPI2-/2-100:0xxsWWWWWWWWWWMB7+++ ``````YLLLLL@:::::yddddd[RHU6fA@֣TAA@֣TA y@ (@GLAC.49AAGL.49PINFLE/FESIDACEGL000805Pinus flexilis / Festuca idahoensis WoodlandGLACABOVE POI LAKE TRAILGARMIN 4MNAD83Kay Izlar, Dorothy Wallace-Senft2Somewhat steepSEHigh slopecolluvial slopeSedimentary Rocks: Sandstone/ COLLUVIAL SLOPEUpland@`EvergreenNeedle-leavedForest 5 - 10 m 2 - 5 m0.5 - 2 m <0.5 m3 : 3, DIST, STEEPKI100-015125%/13%100:0ssssk<+  sddddd[RHwU2LVALb  KEYED EASILY TO VEG CODE. DESCRIPTION WAS CHARACTERISTIC OF SITE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF RIBINE AND VARIOUS FORBS MENTIONED. IF CARUTR HAD MORE COVERAGE IT WOULD HAVE DEYED TO SALDRU/CARUTR BUT THE DESCRIPTION DOES NOT FIT THIS SITE WELL. SALIX WAS TOO THICH. IF CALCAN HAD A LITTLE LESS COVER IT WOULD KEY TO SALDRU/MESIC BUT THE PLANT DIVERSITY DISCUSSED IN "DESCRIPTION" DID NOT MATCH SITE.The willows seem to be evenly mixed between S. glauca and S. commutata (maybe even more glauca). However, glauca description way off and communtata one very good. Seem to have a little C. gynocrates mixed in with the C. nigricans. On perusing the herbarium later, I believe the Carex we called C. aquatilis could very well have been C. lenticularis var. lipocarpa or dolia. One of the populations of the dolia is actually listed as being right about where our point is, so seems within reason.Lots of sedges which are mostly gone by so hard to ID, but very much dominated by BETGLA; again doesn't fit with the drier, fire-dominated description of BETOCC, but it's the closest we can get. Again, need a BETGLA/CAREX fen type to best describe this.Fits fine. Despite keying to the same community type, this plot has a different secondary willow than plot #588 (S. planifolia we think instead of S. boothii).Has less other shrub and forb diversity than description, probably because the primary layer of willow is so thick and tall. Has Ribes in plot, but is inerme and not lacustre.Fit ok, but lots of BETOCC mixed with the willows, so figured we'd throw that in as an alt veg code. - though it seems like is it BETGLA and not BETOCC. Similar enough, I suppose, though the BETOCC description isn't boggy enough. So really we mean a marshy BETGLA as the alt. code. Lots of interesting wetlands plants. In pond meander have possible Schoenoplectus sp. A cohort of acid bog-type plants, as one would expect what with the presence of the BETOCC.V% r nf؋ATA؋ATA @v@Pd@GLAC.594AAGL.594SALBOO/MESIC FORB SHRUBLANDCEGL001180Salix boothii / Mesic Forbs ShrublandGLACST.

We surveyed the plot in a vertical sThis plot is on the edge of an avalanche inbetween a PRUVIR talus slope and mixed conifer. We surveyed the plot in a vertical strip paralleling a stream channel. There are large glacial erratics around and the trees are battered in typical avalanche fashiMoist stringer meadow surrounded by conifers and Populus spp.Tiny, long, skinny polygon in stream draw.DEPRESSION IN HILLSIDE, MOIST, SURROUNDED BY FOREST, PSEMEN, VERY UNIFORM STRUCTURE.BIG SHRUBBY MIX. ABOVE PLOT IN SAME AVALANCHE SHOOT DOMINATED BY HOLDIS.This polygon is a mosaic of two distinct types. We picked the more open, drier area with lots of exposed rock (both bedrock and colluvium) which is patchy throughout the treed area as our main type. Some dead, old logs. Plot has a woodland character.Steep, talus slope covered with lush shrubs and forbs.Big stream running through plot. Definitely an avalanche chute. Giant new avalanche below.SMALL DRAINAGES CUT THROUGH POLYGON.Plot situated at bottom of old avalanche chute surrounded by taller, intact forest; scattered trees within plot.Same avalanche chute as plot #888, but more open and wide and with many more shrubs.Very open and mostly unvegetated talus slope with fingers of POPTRE (bent at base as though avalanched) in a tangled mat. Appears to have been recently buried somewhat by rock slide.The plot has a trail running right through it, so it's pretty disturbed. One side is on the edge of a steep bank leading down to the dried-down end of Lake Sherberne.Small patch of woodland with avalanche action so cracked off trees.Bank of small drainage sloping down to a willow depression. Flattened patches so probably some cows slipping in and sleeping/trampling. Being invaded by Phleum pratensis and Cirsium arvense - not surprising since it is so close to the road and Park bordELK TRACKS AND HEAVILY GRAZED, UNDER A POWERLINE.We did the plot in a boomerang-shaped polygon as seen on map (the point was on the very edge of 2 polygons). In this plot there is a large landslide coming from upper section of steep bank and covering plants on west 1/4 of plot. There are lots of exotic Small stand of aspen in a meadow complex. Distinct edges abutting a FESCAM meadow, conifers and willow.This plot has various slopes. Highly browsed. The AMEALN is althroughout instead of in big bunches. Quite a bit of SYMALB, but probably induced by browsing. Patches of PINCON on out skirts of plot.MUCH GRAZING AND INVASION OF GRASSES PHLEUM, POAPRALots of cracked off trees and blowdown, mostly likely from the ice storm the previous winter. Islands of dense trees and big open areas; very smashed.Multi-aged complex of trees - transitional community. PINCON is the dominant tree in the UPPER canopy. This site appears disturbed, but there doesn't seem to be enough change in elevation to be an avalanche chute.This is a disturbed area with lots of OLD downed snags. Thick CHAANG at top of plot. ELYGLA, ASTCON also have significant cover. More ARCUVA at bottom of plot with DASFLO.Base of ledgy cliff with fallout immediately below.Huge blow down in polygon. Some large rocks.Lots of dead and dying trees of all 3 species present. Lush vegetation beneath.Patchy edge community. Clumps of conifers and really big, old aspen.This is a very dry site, although it had a few wet pockets. It sits above the river. PINCON is encroaching on the edges.Lots of POPTRE snags throughout (about 35% cover), so big open spaces. Drainage nearby with POPBAL and big open meadow above with lots of Phleum pratense.RECENT DISTURBANCE, LOTS OF WOODY DEBRIS, MANY BROKEN LARGE TREES, GENERALLY PINCON.

The plot is very shrubby, with an even mix of 67:33 conifer-deciduous, so seems kind of edgy, but also seems like a legitimate lake edge type - can see it ringing the lake much of the way. So possible POPTRE-CONIFER/RUBPAR water edge type.Fits fine, has all the components of the veg type we picked.This seems to be the lower elevation community gradient of ABILAS-PICENG/LUZGLA with the moist forb complex mixed in.ROSWOO DESCRIPTION DID NOT FIT PLOT VERY WELL; PLOT WAS NOT BURNED OVER, OR SUPERFICIALLY ROCKY, WITH A RICH SOIL LAYER AND A WIDE DIVERSITY OF FORBS AND GRASSES.

VERY LITTLE CALRUB BUT VERY HIGH COVER OF CARGEY (CARGEY DOMINATES HERB LAYER).

ABILAS looking pretty shredded, too. No description at the time so couldn't verify.If we had found a bit more CALRUB, this could have come to POPTRE-CALRUB, but since this is an avalanche slope, the POPTRE probably wouldn't be here without the avalanche.Fit fine. Dominated by CALCAN with a fair bit of weeds mixed in (Plantago, Melilotus, Rumex, Trifolium) though not in great quantities. Very close to horse paddock so no wonder.Didn't come up with a specific type. Plot dominated by ALNVIR - otherwise pretty sparse right in draw. We tried not to include edge species since there is a meadow on one side and a conifer forest on the other.Once we decided on the split between types, they keyed out fine. There is lots of moss in the main type - looks like Rhacomitrium sp and Polytricium sp to me. In the inclusion there was PICENG sapling cover of P-, VACMEM cover of 4, XERTEN cover of 2, and CHIUMB cover of P-.Description fits pretty well, although it doesn't mention the Salix and Betula we have present and we have no STRAMP despite the type name. We do have quite a bit of Angelica, though. Odd mix of stuff. The POPBST is dying out and POPTRE are very big and old; we have Shepherdia; otherwise, very rich, diverse assemblage.This didn't key out properly. It fits the Acer type to a degree, but lots of the components are wrong and in this case, our Acer is confined to one clump which is clearly less than 10%. We have too much Rubus to go to forb, but it's not the moist Rubus/herbaceous type. So we propose a Rubus/fireweed rocky slope community, especially since we've seen it multiple times. Also lots of Anaphalis and Artemisia ludoviciana./) # ^GffA/TAfA/TA |@ Z@GLAC.946AAGL.946CALCANCEGL001559Calamagrostis canadensis Western Herbaceous VegetationGLAC*@pGARMIN, 17MNAD83Kay Izlar,Dorothy Wallace-Senft2GentleNWBasin floorstringer meadowGlacial Deposits: Glacial-fluvial depositsUpland?@rd@|Herb-perennialGraminoidHerbaceous vegetation 1 - 2 m0.5 - 2 m0:BP1DWS102-0236P+/010:90qqeeYYYYQ%znfffff\RHW_U2f ]A,TA ]A,TA {@<  `@ GLAC.944AAGL.944UNDEFINED ALNVIR SHRUBLANDCEGL002633Alnus viridis ssp. sinuata / Mesic Forbs ShrublandGLAC5@pGARMIN, 4.8MNAD83Jennifer Hintz,Dorothy Wallace-Senft2Somewhat steepSELowslopedrawSlope & Modified Deposits: Colluvial?,@r@|Cold-deciduousBroad-leavedShrubland 2 - 5 m0.5 - 2 m <0.5 m+@~DWSwestside camera0tthh\\\\\5/%%!!fffff\RHuWUfeAڒTAeAڒTA @cx_Y( ( @N(GLAC.943AAGL.943ALNVIR/MESICCEGL002633Alnus viridis ssp. sinuata / Mesic Forbs ShrublandGLACSE OF RED EAGLE TRAIL8M, DOP2.7GARMIN NAD83NAD83Justin West, Kay Izlar2ModerateNMidslopeslopeSedimentary Rocks: ArgilliteUplandMESICMOSSCold-deciduousBroad-leavedShrubland15 - 20 m 2 - 5 m 1 - 2 m <0.5 m <0.5 m(G:G) GOOD FIRANIMAL TRAILCJW9433NA$  tnnn[[[[S5.$$""tfffff\RHj2fhAΒTAhAΒTA @"xPY<Z `@N(GLAC.941AAGL.941ALNVIR / MESICCEGL002633Alnus viridis ssp. sinuata / Mesic Forbs ShrublandRUBPAR/CHAANG-HERMAXCEGL001127Rubus parviflorus / Chamerion angustifolium - Heracleum maximum ShrublandGLAC:@p7M, DOP 1.9GARMINNAD83Kay Izlar, Justin West2ModerateNWMidslopeSwaleSedimentary Rocks: SandstoneUplandV@rMOSSCold-deciduousBroad-leavedShrubland 2 - 5 m.5 - 2 <0.5 m0 - 1 m GOOD:FAIR-@0+KI941RUBPAR/CHAANG-HERMAX5NAeUSS=884(((yyuukiQQQQQQJB5555)#####vfffff\RHr6fATAATA y@PFZ@GLAC.921AAGL.921RUBPAR/HERMAXCEGL001127Rubus parviflorus / Chamerion angustifolium - Heracleum maximum ShrublandGLACABOVE SUNRIFT GORGE TRAILGARMIN, 8MNAD83Kay Izlar, Dorothy Wallace-Senft2Somewhat steepSMidslopeAVALANCHE SHOOTGlacial Deposits: Bedrock and tillUplandJ@rCold-deciduousBroad-leavedShrubland10 - 15 m 5 - 10 m 2 - 5 m0.5 - 2 m3 : 4 STEEP, DISTANCEki100-01241+/P90:106#]LBB@@0.      ufffff\RH_U2cLVALj a 3 o + h &j|,NOT SURE THIS IS ELYGLA IN PLOT.

JUNCOM EXISTS IN A FEW PATCHES, WHILE EQUHYM AND ANGARG ALSO EXIST IN SMALL AMOUNTS IN PLOT. SANDY SOIL. ONE PSEMEN IN PLOT LOOKS SICK, BUT NO SIGNS OF BEETLE DAMAGE.TO THE EAST OF PLOT IS UPSLOPE AND DRIER-XERTEN COMMUNITY. WEST OF PLOT IS SMALL STREAM-CHAANG TYPESTUNTED POPTRE-PROBABLY WIND AFFECTED.

It is right below a big talus slope beneath a steep cliff.|LVALd EDGES AND LOWER PORTION OF POLYGON HAVE MORE POPTRE AND MORE TREES. NOT AN ANNUAL AVALANCHE CHUTE-TALLER ACEGLA AND CONIFERS. SOME RECENT DOWNED TREES. INCLUSIONS: POPTRE/AMEALN AVALANCHE CHUTE SHRUBLAND (SMALL INCLUSION @ RUNOUT OF CHUTE). FESIDA-PSESPI HEBACEOUS VEGETATION (INCLUSION TO EAST -V. SMALL PATCH).ALTHOUGH PLOT KEYED OUT TO POPTER/CORSER THE PLANT ASSO. DESCRIPTION FOR POPTER/HERMAX WAS A CLOSER REPRESENTATION OF THE SITE. THE SMALL SIZE OF THE POLYGON AND RESULTANT EDGE EFFECTS SEEMS TO HAVE INCREASED THE ABUNDANCE OF CORSER.THIS PLOT WAS IN AN INTERMITTENT ROCKY DRAINAGE. THIS TIME OF YEAR IT WAS DRY. IT KEYED EASILY TO THE VEG CODE DESCRIBED ABOVE HOWEVER, DASFLO WAS HIGHER IN COVER 40% THAN INDICATED IN THE CAEY. ALSO THERE WAS A CO-DOMINANT GRAMINOID - PSESPI AND IT HAD SLIGHTLY GREATER COVER THAN FESIDA. TWO SMALL PSEMEN TREES WERE IN THE DRAINAGE JUST ABOVE THE PLOT. THE DESCRIPTION OF THE ADDITIONAL VEG TYPE WAS NOT THAT ACCURATE BUT THIS WAS A VERY SMALL INCLUSION.OTHER DOM. SPP. SAMRAC, HACFLO. EVENTHOUGH THERE WAS 10-15% ABILAS THEY WERE SHRUBBY IN NATURE-SNOW PERHAPS KEEPING THEM SHORT IN STATURE PERPETUALLY? DESCRIPTION FOR SALDRU-MESIC FORBS FITS MUCH BETTER EXCEPT THAT THIS AREA HAS ABILAS. WITHIN RIPARIAN AREA OF SIYEH CREEK. IN NEAR AREAS - MORE SALDRU W/ONLY A VERY FEW ABILAS POLE TREES BUT ABILAS PRESENT NONE THE LESS. DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A WOODLAND. INCLUSION: PATCHES OF WHAT KEYS TO CHAANG HERB VEG (THIS VEG DOES NOT MATCH DESCRIPTION) BUT THIS HERV VEG MORE MESIC, CHAANG, RIBLAC, THAOCC, HERSPH, SENTRY (3%), BROMAR, SORSCO, XERTEN. 7 fAGyTAAGyTA @ x<Y    @N(GLAC.B1AAGL.B1PINALB-ABILAS/VACSCO/LUZGLACEGL005839Pinus albicaulis -

Phyllodoce was not in flower, so could be empetriformis or glanduliflora. VACMYR and VACSCO both present, but proportions difficult to distinguish, thus the uncertainty of ID.Also near plot: Carex aquatilis, Juncus filiformis, Eriophorum veridicarinatum, Veronica americana, Drossera anglica (rare)Viola app. could be either glabella or canadensis.TSUHET topped and growing horizontally.Delphinium spp. found just outside plot. Arnica spp. is either cordifolia or latifolia - no flower present. Castilleja is either miniata or rhexifolia.Plot was not considered to have subcanopy - only scattered regen. Vaccinium myrtilloides was found in plot - rare in park (but very locally common in this area). CORCAN and CHIUMB had significant cover; also present in plot was ORYASP.ABIGRA was listed for plot with no covers or height classes.Viola spp. is either canadensis or glabella (no flower); Mitella spp. Had no flower - may be breweri (?)Herbaceous cover was ~1% here (not 5% as is the smallest category in Lifeform Stratum % cover).Tree and shrub cover will appear higher than it was in the lifeforms stratum % cover, since 5% is the lowest available choice for cover. True covers are: Canopy: 4%, Subcanopy: 1%, Tall woody 0.5%, Medium woody: 1%, Short woody: T.Actual GPS point fell on the other side of the stream. Vegetation association was similar, so placed plot on near side of stream, within MMU. Grass spp. and Carex spp. Had no seed heads for ID.Epilobium spp. was not E. anagalidifolium.Argellite - mostly red, some green.Rocky outcropping covered in moss had DASFLO, STEOCC as major cover.We may have moved to far away from the GPS point - the point was in a swale on the edge of a ploygon, and was not representative. To move away from the polygon edge and represent the area, it was required to move further away.Grasses were a bit immature - many did not have seed heads. CALCAN cover could have been anywhere between T to 1 cover. Vegetatively, "P" was our best guess. Botrychium could be michiganense.Tree cover may have been counted both as canopy and woody layers.Perhaps this is why the numbers do not add up - and why there are no species listed for shorter woody categories.All non-indicators listed are common, except for EQUHYM and RUBACA, which are merely "present".IMVM 2209 plot center is in our plot! Found center nail for old plot. HOLDIS and APOAND also have significant cover.Common non-indicator forb species are listed in the species list. Rare plant found: PHECON.Private land - sampled with permission.PHAHAS, PHALYA and ELYTRA are confined to talus burm. Erigeron spp (cover class 4) could be ERIPER - basal leaves only present. CASRHE could be CASMIN.Carex spp. 1 = dark, 3-headed; Carex spp. 2 = green perigynia (possibly scopularum). Neither Carex species were C. nigricans.

LAROCC were not significantly taller than PINCON. No apparent fire event has taken place here, which makes the PINCON / CLIUNI seem a better fit, but the presence of BETPAP and THUPLI probably fits the LAROCC association better.As usual in this type of subalpine woodland/forest, there is NO PICENG. Also no STRAMP. Seems to fit the alternative/secondary code better, but keyed to ABILAS/STRAMP.Higher % of AMEALN in this plot makes the fit for veg. type even better than previous, also presence of ACEGLA.Keyed easily, but SAXLYA was way more dominant than SAXBRO. Other species with the highest covers were OXYDIG, ARN spp. And RANESC. Fits the description moderately well - the physical parameters fit well, but forbs present were somewhat different from those listed as common in this association type.No TSUHET as per description, but TAXBRE is present. More than sparse shrub layer. Large amount of Cedar. If same stratum as LAROCC, it would have fit in THUPLI/CLIUNI assc.No description exists for this veg code but this may be a good example of the association. Tried to collect data on all veg observed in plot.The description fit well with a few exceptions. No PICENG, TAXBRE, OR MENFER. The description says TSUHET dominates but key broke at >25% cover. That is why we put alternative but primary fits better.SALDRU and ALNINC were nearly equal in cover, so could have used either the Salix- or non-Salix key. SALDRU was considered slightly more dominant. Also, ALNINC had no description (no plots). Abundance of Carex also made the SALDRU call more compelling. The only plot on which the description was based was a much more dense shrubland, however (~90%, while the shrub cover here was ~30%).Keyed easily.

This area may occasionally have standing water.The fact that this area is at the base of the Belton Hills may affect the ecology. This could explain the presence of more mesic deciduous trees which collide with the conifer-dominated community of the flatter area.Pincon are dying in overstory. One big dead LAROCC in plot. Has translated to some downfall in area.Trunks are generally upright, but much spreading of lower branches on downslope side. Possible wind and/or snow preventing taller growth, but did not appear to be true krummholtz, however.Highly variable veg mosaic. Species composition varied and numerous. Relatively densely vegetated for a high alpine, exposed bedrock and scree slope with little soil development.Moving water under vegetation and in openings.Nearby roads - may have been cleared in the past. Areaaround MMU is more forested.This area is a disturbed slope. Herbaceous layer is dominated by weedy grasses and forbs (mostly TRIAGR). Soil is very easily disturbed.Lots of downed trees. Many not resting on ground so their abundance was not included in ground cover. Felt confident that we would have arrived at same veg. code prior to fire.LAROCC or PSEMEN and a few BETPAP snags in plot with old fire scars. Thick dense forest on a slope. Almost no understory present (a few VACMEM and PAXMYR and almost no herbaceous layer).Understory is completely dominated by exotic species: CENMAC, MELOFF, and weedy grassesNear Robert Fire backburn (2003). Susceptible to weed invasion from burn area.Plot is located in an organic peat fen. Sphagnum moss is the dominant plant species. Vegetation is floating on lake water along the edge of the lake. Lake level may be higher than is typical.There are many decaying downed mature trees, possibly due to a disturbance in the long-range past (windfall, disease).The small ABILAS is NOT a seedling. Dwarf stature is not a result of age but of habitat. Same for PINALB outside plot.Abundant swales in area, so aspect of drainage is variable within plot and MMU.Some alnus shrubs were as tall as some of the subcanopy but we didn't include them in canopy cover estimates.Talus band on NNW side of plot is dominated by PHAHAS. The rest of the plot is much more thickly vegetated and does not contain PHAHAS. Upslope of plot has a higher concentration of DASFLO, which would probably key to a shrubland, but is not indicative of MMU or polygon.Ridge drops off sharply to the north, where there is a THUPLI community.Slope flattens more below plot; slightly more vegetated and less rocky there. Plot is drier upslope. Wetter species occur more downslope where slope decreases.Mosaic habitat. Woodland interspersed with bedrock outcrops w/sparse veg.East and West sides of plot flanked by paved road and bike path.East side of plot is more influenced by the stream - vegetation is indicative of more moist soils on that edge of the plot.Patchy forest surrounded by open shrub/grasslands. This could account for the mixed species composition.Site is more heavily vegetated in the understory than steeper sites in the polygon.High moss cover. Low subcanopy cover. Numerous seedlings.Likely this area is intermittently flooded. Small streams run through plot.

VALSIT and ERIPER are some of the herbaceous dominants, but CHAANG and VERVIR have slightly more cover.THUPLI is most dominant in terms of total cover, but it is not canopy dominant. In this type of habitat it seems that it is often the most abundant tree but simply doesn't grow as tall as PSEMEN and other canopy dominant species.The description for the plot fit very wellThere was >10% grass cover, so keys in the gramminoid key. Fits description of alternative VALSIT - VERVIR moderately well, although perhaps this is a the drier end of that spectrum. This area is not as much of a snow catchbasin as described for that type of habitat.VACCAE cover is ~3%, so could go either way in key. XERTEN dominates understory, which is not mentioned for the LAROCC / VACCAE association. Dwarf shrub layer also did not dominate here, as described for the LAROCC / VACCAE description.There is ~10% DASFLO in plot. No ARTMIC in plot.Keyed easily. Understory a good fit. Description didn't mention spruce in overstory. TAXBRE outside plot.This plot keyed to the primary code because of one very large doug fir. There were no others in the plot and it didn't fit the descriptions for either the primary or alternative codes well. The descriptions for both veg types included more shrubs and in the case of the alternative code, more moss.CLIUNI is present in very small patches - it only exists where OPLHOR and ARANUD are growing. Fits description of THUPLI / CLIUNI fairly well, but THUPLI is not the dominant understory species (TSUHET is most dominant). Herbaceous description fits well.Shrub cover is < 10%. Gramminoids are > 10% of herbaceous layer, and sedge cover is <15%, so keys to a non-sedge, gramminoid-dominated association.Not an emphatic fit for either the primary or secondary associations.

Not clear to which the key refers. THUPLI is not in upper canopy.None of the associations is a stellar fit. No species having >1% cover, including SAXBRO. PHAHAS-PENELL doesn't work because not 3% of any combination of the relevent species.Riparian island that has undergone disturbance from past flooding events - now colonized by POPBAL and weedy understory species. Not in key. Other understory species in polygon include: ADRSTO (dom.), ELYREP, POAPRA, POACOM, CHRLEU, POAPAL, and a few scattered SALEXI and EQUARV.The description fits very well. Some BETPAP exist in MMU, but are closer to the lake.There is no description for the veg code. There was no Carex lenticularis in the plot. The dominant sedge here grows on the edge of vegetation mat along open water. No conifer encroachment as with the plot on the east side of this lake, but alders overhang this plot.Veg code fits moderately well; alternate code considerably worse than that - conifer tree assemblage did not fit, plus shrub coverage was wrong. Understory shrub and herbaceous vegetation nearly non-existant.ARCUVA cover is borderline to key to a PINCON/VACCAE; probably <3%. Since the undersory is disturbed and thin, this is a difficult assessment. Fits the PINCON / LINBOR association slightly better, although not great. LINBOR is definitely the understory dominant.Fits veg code very well. Larch did not appear diffentially taller than other trees, so did not call them emergent.Keyed easily, fit description wellDoesn't key. CLIUNI confined to small areas under trees. Impossible to key as a conifer association because there is less than four times as much PINCON as the next most dominant species (LAROCC), but not as much LAROCC as PINCON, so it doesn't key to either association.

Sphagnum dominates ground with small open water patches. Trees are scattered and many appear to be dying. Eleocharis acicularis and Carex lasiocarpa co-dominate the herbaceous vegetation.Vegetation keyed to what it did because of early sucessional forest characteristics, i.e. numerous PSEMEN seedlings and saplings. POPBAL also along nearby roads.AMEALN cover was on the cusp of 15%. If it had been considered <15%, it would key to an undefined shrubland. If it is considered >15%, it keys to an AMEALN / Mixed Grass - Forb Shrubland.PAXMYR is the dominant shrub here - in dwarf growth form. Elsewhere on this slope, it grows very tall (over 0.5m), so not certain if it qualifies as a dwarf shrub, based on it's potential. DASFLO cover was <5%, but could conceivably have been close to 5%. Overall grass cover was <5%, and ELYTRA had trace cover, and no FESIDA was present, so couldn't call it DASFLO/FESIDA.It was a close call b/t PSEMEN and LAROCC. We went w/PSEMEN because because it can seed better in a canopy gap than LAROCC. Both codes fit the site well. Also close call b/t conifer and mixed conifer. Would key to BETPAP/CLIUNI.Standing water in plot. High moss cover. CLIUNI relegated to sites that were not inundated with water. TIATRI was slightly more common, but also did not grow in water.

trace of deciduous in understo@@ uppdX0uf[[[OCCCC;1$yhhhhh]RH $LVAL B rThere is approximately 25% tree cover here, so used the forest and woodland key, although 25% is the cutoff.The distinction between this vegetation and that for nearby plot C205 seemed a bit artificial. Plot C205 shrub overstory was entirely composed of ALNVIR.Only fit the description fairly well, because this area burned in 2003. While we were certain of the tree species identified, some covers had to be estimated because the crowns were burned, Estimates for LAROCC were made on live trees, so were accurate. Estimates made on dead species or partially dead (i.e. THUPLI, TSUHET) had to be more broadly estimated.LAROCC/LINBOR seems to fit best due to high % of LINBOR, and limited distribution of CLIUNI/TIATRI, but no previous documentation of this association and no description of it led us to choose LAROCC/CLIUNI, even though we don't actually think that this is the best fit for what is in existence on the ground at the time, I.e. mapping the current vegetation cover.It was a close call for the conifer:deciduous ratio. However, there appeared to be more BETPAP in the MMU. Also the description for ABILAS - PICENG / STRAMP did not fit at all. The polygon was rather heterogeneous - had some willow.OPLHOR cover was borderline 5%, ans somewhat confined to the more moist environment. No STRAMP, but ATHFIL, VERVIR, SENTRI cover >3%. Description does not fit very well for ABILAS - PICENG / OPLHOR - average cover was 45%, and we had no where near that cover here. Neither LINBOR nor GYMDRY were present in plot, said to commonly occur in this association.PINCON is the dominant species in the upper canopy, but it is not four times more abundant than LAROCC, and LAROCC is not greater in cover than the most dominant conifer species, so technically does not key. If keyed in the PINCON key anyway, keys to PINCON / LINBOR. It does fit the description for a PINCON / LINBOR association, fairly well, especially the global description.4` HfA@σTAA@σTA @l aF F(`@'GLAC.C156AAGL.C156LAROCC/CLIUNICEGL005880Larix occidentalis / Clintonia uniflora ForestLAROCC / LINBORPark Special 7Larix occidentalis / Linnaea borealis ForestGLACNear West entranceLake McDonald WestGARMINNAD837M, DOP 2.7JH, MH20NALow levelvalley floorAlluviumUpland0@Cold-deciduousNeedle-leavedForest20 - 35 m10 - 15 m 2 - 5 m 1 - 2 m <0.5 m0.5 - 1 mT=<1%, P=1-5%, 1=5-10%, 2=10-15%, 3=15-25%5=50-75%,6=>75%,NR=Not Recorded,NI=Non-Indicator GOOD:FAIR@@ mh1 - Photo number, 2 - Other veg types within MMU, 3 - %Basal veg., 4 - %Coniferous:%deciduousAA05_C156NA270:30*b@ |e3shddbb`XXXXXKD<<<((whhhhh]RH?fAܑTAAܑTA @ cxRY  F@GLAC.C155AAGL.C155Undescribed BETPAP - ConiferCEGL000336Abies lasiocarpa - Picea engelmannii / Streptopus amplexifolius ForestABILAS - PICENG / STRAMPCEGL000336Abies lasiocarpa - Picea engelmannii / Streptopus amplexifolius ForestGLACMoose CountryMount CannonGarminNAD8310m, DOP 2.4MD, MW20N/ABasin floorbottomlandsGlacial Deposits: TillUplandE@Mixed evergreen - cold-deciduousMixedWoodland35 - 50 m15 - 20 m 2 - 5 m0.5 - 1 m <0.5 m0.5 - 1 m <0.5 mT= <1%,P=1-5%,1=5-10%,2=10-15%,3=15-25%,4=25-50%5=50-75%,6=>75%,NR= Not recorded, NI=Not indicatormmu = Fair, Polygon = Fair@MooseJLHOpt. 1 = photo name, Opt. 2 = Other veg types within MMU, Opt. 3 = Basal vegetation ground cover, Opt. 4 = % coniferous:deciduousAA05_C155N/A2%74:26iii_TJ?4) wwwiiNHHHHHhhhhh]RH,fATAATA `@&cxUY <( @"GLAC.C152AAGL.C152ABILAS - PICENG / OPLHORCEGL000322Abies lasiocarpa - Picea engelmannii / Oplopanax horridus ForestABILAS - PICENG / STRAMPCEGL000336Abies lasiocarpa - Picea engelmannii / Streptopus amplexifolius ForestGLAC1@@Lake McDonald EastGarminNAD838m, DOP 2.5MH, JH23150Low levelbottomlandsGlacial Deposits: Glacial-fluvial depositsUpland@EvergreenNeedle-leavedForest20 - 35 m15 - 20 m 5 - 10 m 2 - 5 m0.5 - 1 m <0.5 m <0.5 m <0.5 mT= <1%,P=1-5%,1=5-10%,2=10-15%,3=15-25%,4=25-50%5=50-75%,6=>75%,NR= Not recorded, NI=Not indicatorMMU = Fair, Polygon = Fair@Old downed trees in area.@ jlhOpt. 1 = photo name, Opt. 2 = Other veg types within MMU, Opt. 3 = Basal vegetation ground cover, Opt. 4 = % coniferous:deciduousAA05_C152ABILAS - PICENG / MENFER / STRAMP; ALNIR / Mesic?2%100:03."aaaWMC8-! sldddPPD>>>>>hhhhh]RH,LVALYCon't from Opt. 2: Species included: Con't from Opt. 2: Species included: THAOCC, CLIUNI, OSMOCC, VERVIR, Arnica*NA for dominant layer, which is shrub, but there is canopy layer, albiet too sparse to classify as forest/woodland.* If LAROCC is counted as deciduous the ratio would be approx 40:60* This is considering LAROCC a conifer rather than deciduous, though it fits in both categories. >f$ATA$ATA @ xLY P( `@GLAC.C161AAGL.C161Undefined POPBAL ForestA.311Populus balsamifera ssp. trichocarpa Temporarily Flooded Forest AllianceN/AN/AGLAC2@ANyackGarminNAD834m, DOP 1.1JH20N/ALow levelriver terraceGlacial Deposits: Glacial-fluvial depositsUpland@Cold-deciduousBroad-leavedWoodland 2 - 5 m0.5 - 1 m <0.5 m <0.5 m <0.5 mT= <1%,P=1-5%,1=5-10%,2=10-15%,3=15-25%,4=25-50%5=50-75%,6=>75%,NR= Not recorded, NI=Not indicatorMMU = Good, Polygon = Good@JLHOpt. 1 = photo name, Opt. 2 = Other veg types within MMU, Opt. 3 = Basal vegetation ground cover, Opt. 4 = % coniferous:deciduousAA05_C161N/A2%0:100 snnnb:xxxxlllld8)hhhhh]RH ,f\&AƒTAAăTA `@g cx_Y((< @&GLAC.C16AAGL.C16PINCON / CALCANCEGL000138Pinus contorta / Calamagrostis canadensis ForestN/AN/AGLACWest of Sewage PondsMcGee MeadowGarminNAD8312m, DOP 2.3MH, JH21205Low levelvalley floorGlacial Deposits: Glacial-fluvial depositsUplande@EvergreenNeedle-leavedForest20 - 35 m10 - 15 m 2 - 5 m0.5 - 1 m <0.5 m <0.5 mT= <1%,P=1-5%,1=5-10%,2=10-15%,3=15-25%,4=25-50%5=50-75%,6=>75%,NR= Not recorded, NI=Not indicator1@@@ jlhOpt. 1 = photo name, Opt. 2 = Other veg types within MMU, Opt. 3 = Basal vegetation ground cover, Opt. 4 = % coniferous:deciduousAA05_C16N/A1%100:0 (upper canopy only)mh\PPD|||ppppph<.#wfffff\RH ,f ATA ATA @xQ YP< `@GLAC.C159AAGL.C159Unidentified ALNVIR ShrublandCEGL002633Alnus viridis ssp. sinuata / Mesic Forbs ShrublandN/AN/AGLACBelow Mt.

Had to reduce plot size to avoid another association. This plot did not fit either association (primary or secondary) description well. No CARAQU. Sphagnum moss cover is high here. Conifers are encroaching upon the wetland, suggesting a successional change.Plot is dominated by POACOM, which was considered an exotic pasture grass. CENMAC is the co-dominant.Undescribed community characterized by an upper stratum combination of BETPAP and conifers.Keyed easily to veg code; fir description moderately well. Forb composition is diverse but different from those mentioned in description. Plot was dominated by AQUFLA, but did not have the required second associated species (i.e. SENMEG, EPIANA, SYMFOL, etc.) to key to alternate. This association seemed intermediate between the two community types. However, neither description mentioned ARTMIC or LOMDIS, which were common in this plot.No speices had > trace cover in this plot, so a community dominant could be determined. The only sparsely vegetated association that this community approximates is ATHAME - CRYACR, which is said to exist on boulderfields, while this is more talus. Does not fit the description that well.Technically, there is not quite 25% tree cover here, but because much of the substrate is rock and can't support tree growth, it seemed best to key it as a forest/woodland. Fits description well/ This is also a short-stature stand of this association, which generally exhibits lower canopy.Fit the veg code description well - especially regarding OPLHOR. However, description did not mention TAXBRE. Alternative did not fir as well - no mention of OPLHOR or TAXBRE.This plot does not key to any association, but both crews have sampled several similar habitats this season. This plot has much higher POPBAL cover than most, but perhaps a new association should be created for weedy POPBAL / Salix / Melilotus communities.LVAL$Ku6 M /  G O+[4 PDepression in MMU contained many SALIX and POPBAL. May be inDepression in MMU contained many SALIX and POPBAL. May be inundated w/water more frequently than the rest of the plot area.Obvious avalanche chute/runout. Mosaic type association.It appears to be an ecotone b/t riparian type deciduous forest and conifer dominated (PICENG, PINCON, LAROCC) forest.Downed logs in plot were much larger DBH than standing live trees here. Possible infrequent snowslides from headwall above, althghough minimal evidence of topped standing trees.Dead snags in plot - possibly PINALB.Plot on edge of ecotone - open dry streambed.Undulating surface - it is steeper above (to the south of) plot. Plot is located below a reock band. Slope diminishes below (downslope from) plot.MMU is in a swale. Plot was not placed in the steepest, rockiest part of swale, which was less representative.This area is an open, windswept slope with abundant rock outcrops that have poor soil development.Some larger (mature) LAROCC outside of plot but sparse.Flooded during spring (and fall?).This area has been recently exposed after glacial retreat.Trees were partially or entirely burned but for the most part remained identifiable. Cedar all dead, most hemolck dead (both of which were confined to subcanopy) and some CD lodgepole dead as well. One side of plot burned more severely and had higher tree mortality than the other. Veg. on forest floor remains sparse.Plot is located on a weedy slope. This is a disturbed area, but it does not appear to have been burned, at least in the semi-recent past. There may just be poor soil development here, therefore less stable vegetation.Some ACEGLA is greater than 5m tall.These trees are OLD. Not saplings (re data sheet, not PLOTS). Tree size classes are not indicative of age at this eleveation. Average tree height is 2m which doesn't fit well into either height class.Some POPBAL and BETPAP along road in MMU - may be a result of water runoff from road.Three pole-sized PINCON recently dead. Mature larch outside plot. Sapling grand fir outside plot. One PINMON outside plot. THUPLI seedling outside plot.Large downed trees in plot - pulled up from root.It appears that there may be snow slides in this area, preventing the trees from reaching significant stature. Shrubs share the same height strata as the trees, and may appear in the canopy of aerial photos.A single PINALB was found just outside of plot.Thick duff layer on forest floor. Climax forest.Parts of the plot that burned had greater slope than where the plot was located.This plot seems to be on the southern edge of a very uniform, large-scale association.Very thick understory shrub layer. This area may be suceeding into a POPTRE-dominated association.Area is potentially an avalanche chute (?)The lower part of the plot contains larger rock and bolders; the upper portion is composed of lighter moraine, and is slightly less vegetated. The steeper areas within the polygon are less vegetated.Very moist forest - may have become more wet recently. ABILAS and THUPLI are dying.More large downed trees in this area. Several small depressions in plot and MMU that almost have muddy soil.This area contains poorly drained soils; it is probably subirrigated.Many of the PINCON seedlings in the area are dead.Shoreline of Johns Lake. Lake level may be higher than usual.Polygon is a highly disturbed area adjacent to the railroad.Plot is located on a moist slope leading to Camas Creek.This area has very sandy soil, adjacent to river, so probably experiences periodic flooding.Vegetation changed just before entering MMU. Common shrubs in polygon but not in MMU include CRADOU, SALDRU, CORSER and LONINV.

Alternate veg code was chosen based on the description, which sounds like a catch-all category, with very low species constancy, for talus slopes near the continental divide. PHAHAS and PHASER were not present here, but PHALYA was present.Description for veg code fits well for trees and shrubs. However, herbaceous layer is much more dense and diverse than either code indicates. THUPLI are dying, perhaps due to changes in hydrology - becoming too wet for this species.Moist PICENG bottomland on flat river terrace. Keyed to association easily and fit description well.

Considering solely PICENG as canopy, keys to PICENG / OPLHOR, technically, but only fits description moderately well (no mention of OPLHOR - it was found in one VegMap plot, however, with low cover). If all "06" and "07" size class trees were considered as canopy, it keys to ABILAS - PICENG / OPLHOR. This plot fits that description very well, but RUBPAR is more dominant here than described.Fits veg code well. Little vegetation on rocky gravel bar.Cliuni was determined to be confined to moist microsites. It was only found in two areas of the plot, in depressions. There is a significant amount of ACEGLA in the plot, but it was not certain whether this was an early seral forest.Wet species approx 3%, but likely less (VERVIR and MITBRE).

To the east of the stream bed is a grasland (?) with high forb cover."Big beautiful boles - and I can't spell!"Although much of this polygon had been burned in 2003 (Robert Fire), this MMU appeared to have been unaffected by fire, and its canopy remained intact.This site is bounded to the north by a dropoff, then continues on a lower level. Plot is located on a large scale bench. Potentially the reason why a polygon boundary was drawn to the north - could appear on an aeral photo to be a different canopy height, but apparently is just a lower ground level. To the south of plot the forest is more dense, with a subcanopy and is a mixed, more mature stand.Plot is ~.25 mile from a rocky cliff.Plot is located below a bedrock outcrop.

It was a close call, considering LAROCC and PSEMEN emergents. If they were considered merely canopy, then it would key to alternate veg code. Alternate description was also only a moderate fit, and included TSUHET in the understory. It seemed that this plot was intermediate between the 2 veg codes identified. Neither included THUPLI in the understory.SALSCO and TAXBRE have the highest shrub covers. No assoications exist with these as major species. No other species has adequate cover to key to an identified shrubland.LUZGLA cover is close to 3%, but probably more sparse, and is restricted to areas beneath larger ABILAS trees.Keyed easily - much > 15% RUBPAR. Almost all the moist-soil indicator forbs were present as well. Many of the shrubs listed in the description for GLAC were not present, however. This plot was also at a lower elevation than the range of plots sampled in GLAC. PTEAQU, which was the dominant forb here, was listed in the global description, but not for Waterton-Glacier.Veg. code was a good fit. No Larix in mmu though. 1 PICENG outside plot but inside mmu. The key breaks to TSUHET with only 25% canopy cover in the opper canopy, however the description indicates that TSUHET should dominate, which is why we put alternative veg. code, as it seems codominant with THUPLl. This notwithstanding the primary veg. code fits great.Keyed easily and fit the description well.XERTEN cover is close to 5%. It seems to fit the description of PINCON / CLIUNI - XERTEN better, mostly because no other species shared the canopy with PINCON. If XERTEN had been considered to have <5% cover, it would have keyed to PINCON / CLIUNI.The description fit well with a few exceptions: there was no mention of TAXBRE and this plot had dense cover of this species, and the assemblage of forbs described was not accurate for this plot.

Trees not short enough to be krumholz, but not continuous enough to have a true canopy. All forbs given a "p" for cover are at the low end of that scale and don't aggregate to 3% to change the classification. There should be a separate classification for this type of habitat, as it does not conform to the characteristics of a true forest or woodland, but is abundant and widespread at this elevation, more so than true krumholz.Fits description well - however, the combination of forbs for lead 15 (Tall shrub key) just barely made the cut (there were 6% here, needed 5% to key to this).Moist, thick, tall herbaceous understory vegetation. Little subcanopy with overall low regeneration. More ATHFIL, OPLHOR and HERSPH than description. One TSUHET tree outside plot.Mixed conifer-deciduous forest recovering from 1967 fire. Fairly uniform in tree height. Fits description very, very well, except not as much PSEMEN here. This plot is very similar to AA plot C69 from a vegetative perspective (same assemblage of species), but plot C69 has far less conifer cover in the plot as a whole, especially in the overstory.No solid classification. No real canopy, but definitely scattered trees. Trees probably on't add up to 25% for a woodland classification. Not much RUBPAR for shrubland classification.This probably keyed to the veg code because of recent mortality of PINCON pole-sized trees. The ratio of coniferous:deciduous in the upper canopy is very close to 75:25. The description of the primary code did not fit well. The plot fit the alternative description better with the exception of a few shrubs that were not present in plot.Fits description only moderately well. Area is disturbed and heterogeneous. It was difficult to find a homogeneous plot. Lots of downed trees due to natural disturbance - pulled up from root. f\A@TA\A@TA @Lx]YF  @'GLAC.C200AAGL.C200BETPAP - CONIFER / CLIUNICEGL005904Betula papyrifera - Conifer / Clintonia uniflora WoodlandN/AN/AGLAC;@ Mount CannonGarminNAD8310m, DOP 1.6JA, MW, MD253232LowslopeLower 1/3 of slopeGlacial Deposits: TillUplandTAROFF in plot.@ Mixed evergreen - cold-deciduousMixedForest10 - 15 m 5 - 10 m 2 - 5 m0.5 - 1 m <0.5 m <0.5 m <0.5 mT= <1%,P=1-5%,1=5-10%,2=10-15%,3=15-25%,4=25-50%5=50-75%,6=>75%,NR= Not recorded, NI=Not indicatorMMU = Good, Polygon = Good@jlhOpt. 1 = photo name, Opt. 2 = Other veg types within MMU, Opt. 3 = Basal vegetation ground cover, Opt. 4 = % coniferous:deciduousAA05_C200N/A1%35:65HHA=8-q=   ffff^F2(##hhhhh]RH f|AdTA|AdTA `@&\ Z@@3GLAC.C2AAGL.C2RUBPAR/HERMAX or RUBPAR undefinedCEGL001127Rubus parviflorus / Chamerion angustifolium - Heracleum maximum ShrublandABILAS-PICENG/CALCANCEGL000300Abies lasiocarpa - Picea engelmannii / Calamagrostis canadensis ForestGLACF@Lake McDonald EastGARMINNAD837m, dop 1.9JH, MH20NALow levelBottomlands/valley floorGlacial Deposits: TillUplandCold-deciduousBroad-leavedShrubland15 - 20 m10 - 15 m 5 - 10 m 2 - 5 m 1 - 2 m <0.5 m0.5 - 1 mT=<1%, P=1-5%, 1=5-10%, 2=10-15%, 3=15-25%5=50-75%,6=>75%,NR=Not Recorded,NI=Non-Indicator FAIR:FAIRt@@mh1 - Photo number, 2 - Other veg types within MMU, 3 - %Basal veg., 4 - %Coniferous:%deciduousAA05_C2NA285:15\\USOFUUUUJ@5*}vnnnZZNHHHHHddddd[RHfATAATA @N cx`Y2P  @GLAC.C199AAGL.C199BETPAP - CONIFER / CLIUNICEGL005904Betula papyrifera - Conifer / Clintonia uniflora WoodlandPINCON / CLIUNICEGL005916Pinus contorta / Clintonia uniflora ForestGLACApgar Bike PathLake McDonald WestGarminNAD839m, DOP 2.4MW20n/aLow levelvalley flooralluviumUpland@Mixed evergreen - cold-deciduousMixedForest20 - 35 m 5 - 10 m0.5 - 1 m <0.5 m <0.5 mT= <1%,P=1-5%,1=5-10%,2=10-15%,3=15-25%,4=25-50%5=50-75%,6=>75%,NR= Not recorded, NI=Not indicatorMMU = Good, Polygon = Good@@jlhOpt. 1 = photo name, Opt. 2 = Other veg types within MMU, Opt. 3 = Basal vegetation ground cover, Opt. 4 = % coniferous:deciduousAA05_C199N/A2%70:30% (canopy), 66:34 (overall)uuSOJ?wC~snnlljfffffYRJJJ66hhhhh]RH 0 DFfh A9TAh A9TA @@cxP YZ @@ GLAC.C205AAGL.C205ACEGLA Avalanche Chute ShrublandCEGL001061Acer glabrum Avalanche Chute ShrublandN/AN/AGLACBelow Mount CannonMount CannonGarminNAD8313m, DOP N/AMD, MW236335Midslopelower 1/3 of slopeSlope & Modified Deposits: ColluvialUpland&@prostrate live branches (ACEGLA)Cold-deciduousBroad leaf herbaceousShrubland 2 - 5 m0.5 - 1 m <0.5 m0.5 - 1 mT= <1%,P=1-5%,1=5-10%,2=10-15%,3=15-25%,4=25-50%5=50-75%,6=>75%,NR= Not recorded, NI=Not indicatorMMU = Good, Polygon = Good@Elk scat in area.JLHOpt. 1 = photo name, Opt. 2 = Other veg types within MMU, Opt. 3 = Basal vegetation ground cover, Opt. 4 = % coniferous:deciduousAA05_C205N/A3%N/A]]XTODi5xxxxpJ6,''##!

Being that there was less than 10% vegetation here, it keyed to a sparsely vegetated community.Since ID of Carex utriculata and C. rostrata was confirmed in the office, not certain which proportion of each was present. Combined, their cover class was a 4. Should C. rostrata be an indicator? Is sedge key correct?Fits veg code well with a few exceptions. The description didn't include THUPLI which was present in this plot. CHIUMB was the dominant dwarf shrub (forb, actually) and ROSGYM was also in the plot. The alternative code fits better because it mentions BETPAP.Keyed well but description doesn't fit.Alternate codes listed in order of applicability. No STRAMP.The only association that was even considered was DESCAE, but it definitely had <15% cover, and was not the gramminoid-dominant. DESCAE associations within GNP are only known for lower elevations, and are wetter habitats than this. Plot is dominated by POAALP.Keyed easily to code. Matches description well.ACEGLA cover is borderline 15%. There is definitely more SYMALB in the understory. ACEGLA is prominent in most areas within the MMU, but the rest of the polygon seems to have much less ACEGLA, and likely keys to PSEMEN / SYMALB.Actual point fell at the forest edge and was adjacent to a small opening in the shrubland. Shrubs were much more representative of the MMU and polygon, so place
