Description:
Vegetation of the Cedar River watershed, located in the Cascade Mountains of western Washington, was analyzed by an agglomerative clustering method followed by discriminant analysis. Stepwise mutliple discriminant analysis provided a means to reallocate stands and assists in the production of a classification scheme and a key to the vegetation types. Ten types are recognized, six from upper-elevation older-growth stands, and four seral types from lower elevation stands logged since 1900. Each type can be identified in the field with a simple key based on cover percentage. The key provides a means for large-scale vegetation mapping with a limited amount of effort.
