Malheur, Umatilla, and Wallowa-Whitman National Forests
Northeastern Oregon
|
The ecology program for the Malheur, Umatilla, and Wallowa-Whitman National Forests supports land management with investigative findings and publications, ecological training, and extension. Major areas of emphasis in recent years have included vegetation classification, and monitoring of fire and grazing effects on vegetation. We maintain a network of over 5000 permanent monitoring plots distributed across all major ecosystems of the three National Forests. |

Herbarium
The ecology program maintains an herbarium with approximately 8700 collections from northeastern Oregon, predominantly from locations on the Malheur, Wallowa-Whitman, and Umatilla National Forests. This herbarium is housed at the Forest Service office in Baker City, Oregon (see contacts). A listing of the collection is available for download (see link, below). This file is tab-delimited text and can be imported into your spreadsheet or database. It contains numerous missing entries, particularly in location data for older collections.
The column headings in this herbarium database are as follows, with definitions for those that are not self-explanatory:
PLANT_NAME names generally follow Hitchcock and Cronquist's (1973) Flora of the Pacific Northwest.
