Abstract
  • Revised edition of the author's "Vegetation of Oregon and Washington", originally published by the U.S. Forest Service in 1973. Reprinted with new bibliographic supplement by the OSU Press in 1988.
  • Natural Vegetation of Oregon and Washington had its genesis in a hastily prepared introduction to the plant communities of the Pacific Northwest for partici­pants in the XI International Botanical Congress in 1969. When supplies of this first document were exhausted within a year, it was decided not simply to reprint it, but to prepare a revised and expanded volume including a great deal of additional informa­tion and numerous additional photographs. The resulting volume, Natural Vegeta­tion of Oregon and Washington, was published by the USDA Forest Service Pacific Northwest Forest and Range Experiment Station in 1973. Major advances have occurred in our understanding of the vegetation of the region since that time, and another major revision of the book is needed. Significant new information is now available in such fields as autecology and population biology, vegetation description and classification, successional processes, and ecosystem func­tioning. In addition, a comprehensive description of the vegetational series now exists, allowing a much more consistent book organization. New chapters are needed on disturbance ecology and ecosystem processes. Unfortunately, however, major revision is not possible at this time. In the face of ongoing demand for the book-which has been out of print for several years-the Oregon State University Press has decided to reprint Natural Vegetation of Oregon and Washington with the addition of a bibliographic supplement which brings the literature citations up to date and helps identify some of the major advances in our understanding of the vegetation of the Pacific Northwest.
