Description: Lists codes for identification of potential natural communities (plant association, habitat types), their seral status, and vegetation structure in and around the Pacific Northwest. Codes are a six-digit alphanumeric system using the first letter of tree species, life-form, seral status, and structure so that most codes can be directly interpreted. Seven appendices list various groupings of codes, a synonymy with plants listing, and a complete list with descriptions of all codes wiht references to publications.

Keywords: Plant association, seral, structure, potential natural community, Pacific Northwest
