Abstract/Description or Keywords The “Pacific Northwest” is a nebulous place: it
denotes different geographies to different people.
Broadly, it is that region within which the climate of
the northeast Pacific Ocean laps onto the North
American continent. Because we are concerned with
the forests of the northwest coast of North America,
the Pacific Northwest will be defined in this paper as
the region occupied by the massive coniferous forest
characteristic of this coast. By this definition, the
region stretches from 61°N at Cook Inlet, Alaska,
through 20° of latitude to Eureka, California (Fig. 1).
