Abstract:

Summarizes the results of a study comparing lichen diversity and biomass across four stand types in forests of Northern Idaho. The study was conducted as part of a week-long course on lichen ecology and identification, held at Priest River Experimental Forest Research Station during the summer of 1998. The course was taught by the authors, and sponsored by the USDA Forest Service. It brought together professional botanists and foresters from Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington. <br> Priest River Experimental Forest is located 1 degree south of the Canadian border, and is centered in the inland extension of oceanic influence. Surveys were designed as a first look at potential effects of various management regimes on lichen communities in the region.
