NotesThis interesting article discusses terrestrial vegetation shifts in different ecosystems. One change discussed is in the distribution of red alder in Pacific Northwest forests as a result of timber harvesting, and the effects that changes in the Douglas fir-red alder balance have on streams. Includes a photograph of a hillside in the Siletz basin showing growth of alder after logging.
