General Description The Daubenmire method consists of systematically placing a 20- x 50-cm quadrat frame along a tape on permanently located transects (see Figure 4 on page 13). The following vegetation attributes are monitored using the Daubenmire method:

The Daubenmire cover class method was developed in the 1950s by Daubenmire, an ecologist who worked in the forests and rangelands of northwest USA. It is accepted as a relatively accurate method that has been used extensively to determine cover in rangeland situations.

Robert B. Daubenmire, 67, a native of Pleasantville and owner of a service station, of 174 E. 214th, Euclid, O. died Wednesday in Greenlawn Nursing Home, Mentor, Ohio.

We classified potential natural communities using the standard vegetation classification methods of Daubenmire (1952, 1968, 1970, and 1978) and Daubenmire and Daubenmire (1968).

B. Daubenmire Cover-Class (pgs 55-58 Interagency Handbook). 1. Place a plot along a transect, or randomly or systematically in a plot. A Daubenmire Frame is specified as 20x50 cm with painted sides (see pg 63 in interagency handbook). 2. Estimate foliar or canopy cover of plants in the plot. a. Record estimate by cover class

The noted USA plant ecologist, R. F. Daubenmire, modified the foregoing cover - abundance scale by division of the > 75% into two scales of 5 = 75 -95% and 6 = 95 -100% (Daubenmire 1959). He also used a 20 cm x 50 cm plot to estimate cover according to these scales. It is important to note that all historical cover measurements, including the

Pullman, WA: Washington State University, College of Agriculture, Washington Agricultural Experiment Station. 104 p. The forest vegetation of the northern Rocky Mountains is potentially a rather simple mosaic determined by macroclimate, microclimate, soil fertility and soil drainage.

Rexford F. Daubenmire (12 December 1909 — 27 August 1995) was an American botanist and plant ecologist. He made significant contributions to the study of plant ecology throughout the twentieth century, including introducing a vegetation classification scheme, helping define the modern study of ecological succession , and writing the standard ...

After one generation, devastating competition from other trees completely eliminates it. In the present section, attention will be restricted to areas in which the pine is the climax dominant, …

Dec 10, 2002 · Daubenmire (1988) defines the Washington shrub-steppe region as a 6 million hectare area of central-eastern Washington and north-central Oregon (Figure 1). It is a hot, dry region where a combination of shrubs, grasses, and herbs dominate the landscape. Several researchers consider the Washington region an extension of the shrub-steppe that
