Abstract

Forest vegetation classified by habitat types and community types in Colorado are tabulated. Fifteen series and 161 habitat and community types are identified. However, the habitat and community types have been grouped into fewer categories, having similar characteristics or synonymous names. Included are the name, location, relative site, successional status, tree and principal undergrowth associates, and the authority.
