Abstract
This report was developed from discussions on the role of
Ceanothus in western forests that took place at a workshop held November 22-24, 1982, at Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon. The workshop provided a forum for discussing research relevant to
Ceanothus management. Major topics were autecology and synecology; interactions between
Ceanothus species and the soil system; the physiological ecology of
Ceanothus and associated conifers; and the effects of
Ceanofhus on forest productivity and growth. The workshop was attended by scientists and land managers from government agencies, universities, and forest industry. This report summarizes available information concerning the biology and ecology of
Ceanothus species in western forest ecosystems; describes and critiques methods, results, and conclusions of past research; discusses current investigations; identifies research needs; and includes an extensive bibliography and a listing of workshop participants involved or interested in
Ceanothus research and management.
