Popis: Dense conifer forests dominated by Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.] Franco) cover lowlands and mid-elevations of the western Pacific Northwest. Old-growth stands in these forests are renowned for their massive trees and complex vertical structure (Waring and Franklin 1979, Franklin 1988). The Pacific Northwest is a leading timber producing region within the western conifer forest type (Ulrich 1984), and the economic importance of these forests is projected to continue in the future (Kulp 1986).
