Forest vegetation of the Black Hills National Forest of South Dakota and Wyoming: A habitat type classification

A vegetation classification based on concepts and methods developed by Daubenmire was used to identify 12 forest habitat types and one shrub habitat type in the Black Hills. Included were two habitat types in the Quercus macrocarpa series, seven in the Pinus ponderosa series, one in the Populus tremuloides series, two in the Picea glaucci series, and one in the Cercocarpus montanus series. A key to identify the habitat types and the management implications associated with each are provided.
