This guide represents the analysis of approximately 3852 plots described in the Montane subregion. This guide includes plots done in the Montane subregion of Banff and Jasper National Parks, the Ya Ha Tinda area west of Sundre, Kootenay Plains west of Rocky Mountain House and community types described in the Cypress Hills. The 3852 plots represent 276 community types. The classification system presented in this guide is intended to assist field staff to assess disturbance and evaluate health on lands within the subregion. The dominant plant species, canopy cover, soils and environmental conditions are outlined for each type. Included in this approximation is a crosswalk table to the Alberta Wetland Classification System (AWCS), new soil type descriptions and successional changes on grassland community types of south and west facing slopes.
