Abstract

Big huckleberry abundance was correlated with associated vegetation and soil pH in a 625-square-kilometer (241-square-mile) area southwest of Mount Adams, Washington. Annual berry production appeared to be influenced by weather more than by site factors in this area. Douglas-fir site index was not correlated with either Vaccinium membranaceum abundance or berry production.

Keywords
