Forest Cover Types:
Chaparral
Forests of heavily branched, dwarfed trees
or shrubs, usually evergreen, the crown canopy of which
at maturity covers more than 50 percent of the ground
and whose primary value is watershed protection. The
more common chaparral constituents are species of
Quercus, Cercocarpus, Garrya, Ceanothus, Arctostaphylos,
and Adenostoma. Types dominated by such
shrubs as Artemisia, Chrysothamnus, Purshia,
Gutierrezia, or semidesert species are not commonly
considered chaparral.
Western hardwoods
Forests in which aspen, red
alder, or other western hardwoods, singly or in combination,
comprise a plurality of the stocking.
