Abstract

Describes virgin plant communities in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. Data from all vegetative components of 106 virgin upland stands were used to construct a community classification through a combination of agglomerative clustering and principal components analysis. Discusses the relation of communities to their environment and to past wildfires.

Keywords
