Vegetation Classification
Introduction
The Calveg classification is a provisional system that meets the floristically based level of the National Vegetation Classification Standard hierarchy. These vegetation alliances were originally developed by the Region's Ecology Program in 1978. The descriptions and keys are being maintained and updated by the Pacific Southwest Region. The system currently consists of 178 distinct vegetation and land use types.
