Local (Country) variations in key social and economic indicators are important in Oregon and Washington. Covered employment, wage and salary, unemployment, and population data for 1987 through 1997 showed regional trends in these indicators, which are compared with national trends. Future updates will be published in the 'Production, Prices, Employment,...
If two dams on the Elwha River are removed, the ecosystem will be open to the downstream flow of sediments and the upstream flow of marine nutrients in the form of anadromous fish. Nutrient enrichment may influence trophic dynamics of the entire ecosystem, extending beyond the aquatic boundary. I assessed...

The goal of this study was to gather information on the autecology,
reproductive ecology, and population dynamics of Astragalus australis
var. olympicus as a baseline for conservation strategies and to help
explain its restricted range. Approximately four thousand
individuals occurred in four known population centers in the Olympic
Mountains, Olympic...
Foliar respiration forms a large component of the carbon balance of any coniferous forest. We examine seasonal, interannual, spatial and interspecific variation of foliar maintenance respiration in a forest in Washington, USA, with measurements made quarterly for >4 years on 400-year old trees of Pseudotsuga menziesii, Tsuga heterophylla and Thuja...
A classification of forest vegetation is presented for the Mt. Baker-snoqualmie Forest. It is based on the potential National vegetation and uses the plant association as the basic unit. The classification is based on 2464 sample plots distributed across the Forest from 1979 to 1990. Of these 1963 were in...
