Plant Associations of AZ and NM, Ed. 4, Vol. 2 - Woodlands

This publication describes the known plant associations for forests and woodlands in Arizona and New Mexico. Forests and woodlands are naturally complex and diverse ecosystems and, therefore, difficult to thoroughly understand or predict changes that may result from management activities or inactivities. Classification of various types of forests and woodlands allows us to make general statements about observations in one site and apply the knowledge learned to a similar site.

Federal, state, and local government officials, legislators, and agencies responsible for land use planning, environmental regulations, and funding for forest management.
