Abstract

A land classification system based upon potential natural vegetation is presented for the coniferous forests of northern Utah. The classification and descriptions are based on reconnaissance data from over 1,000 stands. A total of 8 climax series and 36 habitat types are described. A diagnostic key, utilizing conspicuous indicator species, provides for field identification of the types.
