Abstract

This guidebook describes major biological and physical attributes of the 119-ha (293-ac) Mohawk Research Natural Area. The area supports old-growth Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forest characterized by plant associations representative of the western Cascade foothills. These include the western hemlock/Oregon grape-salal (Tsuga heterophylla/Berberis nervosa-Gaultheria shallon); western hemlock/Oregon grape/swordfern (Tsuga heterophylla/Berberis nervosa/Polystichum munitum); and western hemlock/Oregon oxalis (Tsuga heterophylla/Oxalis oregana) forest plant associations.
