| Abstract | Abbott Creek Natural Area is a 2600 acre research area of the Mixed-Conifer forest type. This study delineated plant association units within the area, and demonstrates the use of the computer program SIMORD as a tool in the definition of such associations. One hundred fourteen sites were sampled by a reconnaissance plot technique and were used, by SIMORD, in the construction of a two-dimensional ordination. On this ordination high, moderate, moist, dry, and Arctostaphylos/Ceanothus plant associations were defined. For each association, tables were constructed of the overstory, shrub and understory vegetation. Where it was meaningful, associations were compared to topographic features of the area, and to similar associations elsewhere. |
