dc.description.abstract | The topics o f Ecosystem Management (EM) and Ecological Classification
Systems (ECS) are appearing more frequently in forest management literature. These
systems facilitate our understanding, not only o f forests from a tree standpoint, but also
by the associations o f shrubs, plants, soils, climatic and geological influences considered
when describing a forest community for which a stand of trees is a component. This
paper specifically describes the ECS commonly used by the Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources (MN DNR) as well as the U.S. Forest Service.
Terminology associated with the description o f ecological units is listed and field
techniques used by entry-level resource technicians are provided to help understand and
utilize the ECS. | |
