Soil-Plant Community Relationships in the Inland Pacific Northwest

The Inland Pacific Northwest offers many outstanding examples of plant community-soil relationships, and this has been the focus of several research projects. Some of these studies are listed and briefly described below.

• Sagebrush Communities and Soils at Birch Creek Valley in East-Central Idaho

• Plant Communities and Soils of North Slopes in the Palouse Region of Eastern  Washington and Northern Idaho

• Soil-Plant Community Relationships in the Selkirk Mountains of Northern  Idaho

• Ectomycorrhizal fungi densities and soil properties in forest soils in Northwest Wyoming

• Alteration of Andisols in the Grand Fir Mosaic Ecosystem Following Invasion by Bracken Fern Successional Plant Communities

• The Influence of Aspect and Parent Material on Soil Development and Related Vegetation in Boundary County, Idaho

• Soil Moisture and Temperature Characteristics under Five-forested Habitat Types in North Idaho

• Soil Moisture and Temperature Regimes and Site Quality of Deep Loess Soils under Forest Canopy in Latah County, Idaho
