This guidebook shows how the distribution of common forest plants changes due to variations in climate, terrain, site, & soil conditions across the northern British Columbia wet-belt & subalpine zones. The guide covers over 120 plant species or species groups that occur in the northern montane spruce and the northern interior cedar-hemlock biogeoclimatic zones. For each species, an outline of species ecological information is presented along with a graph showing the predominant moisture & nutrient regimes where it will most likely occur. The information is arranged by category of plant: trees; shrubs; herbs, ferns, & dwarf shrubs; grasses & sedges; and mosses, liverworts, & lichens. The appendix includes identification keys to the common shrubs & herbs of the Prince George Forest Region and an index of common & scientific names.
