Oregon: Ecological System Habitats
Return to the Forest Atlas main page
The composition, diversity, and structure of vascular plants are important factors in assessing biological diversity of forested ecosystems. Vegetation is the source of primary production and a primary determinant of habitat for many species. Changes in these factors due to non-native species, climate change, forestland conversion or development, and land management changes are concerns at multiple spatial scales. The composition and structure of plants can serve as indicators of changes to ecosystems and as indicators of the status of other organisms and ecosystem processes that are difficult to measure directly.
For more information on how major forest cover types are currently allocated to land management categories refer to the Oregon Indicator of Sustainable Forest Management: Extent of area by forest cover type in protected area categories accessed
