Montana's Rocky Mountain Front : Vegetation Map And Type Descriptions 2006

intent of this project is to better classify and map ecosystem types along the Front with a focus on the ecologically important upland grassland communities critical for some declining species of grassland birds and many other animal species. Existing maps were not very detailed or accurate and had mapping units that were not based on ecological habitats. This report, along with an associated map, provides a conservation baseline with mapping types defined ecologically and linked to the information-rich National Vegetation Classification System
