Frigid Volcanic Slopes

Description

This state represents the reference conditions for this ecological site. The reference state consists of the reference community phase (numbered 1.1), which is the most successionally advanced community phase under a typical disturbance regime, as well as other community phases that result from natural and human disturbances.

All tabular data listed for a specific community phase within this ecological site description represent a summary of one or more field data collection plots taken in communities within the community phase. Although such data are valuable in understanding the phase (kinds and amounts of ground and surface materials, canopy characteristics, community phase overstory and understory species, production and composition, and growth), it typically does not represent the absolute range of characteristics nor an exhaustive listing of species for all the dynamic communities within each specific community phase.
