  • Terrestrial and Palustrine Plant Communities of Pennsylvania

    Terrestrial and Palustrine Plant Communities of Pennsylvania

    ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS unding for this project was provided by the Wild Resource Conservation Fund. Data used in the development of this classification came largely from Pennsylvania Natural Diversity Inventory F partners: The Nature Conservancy, DCNR's Bureau of Forestry, and the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy. Tom Smith's 1991 draft "Natural Ecological Communities of Pennsylvania" provided the foundation upon which this classification was built. This effort owes much to its predecessor. This work relies heavily on the expertise and many years of field experience provided by the following people: Tony Davis, Dan Devlin, Charles Bier, Andra Leimanis, Jeff Wagner, Mark Anderson, Roger Earl Latham. Several of these people provided draft community descriptions, species lists, or environmental descriptions of community types. All of these people have reviewed multiple draft versions of this classification and have given generously of their time, wisdom, and experience. Many thanks to all of the people who reviewed earlier drafts of this classification, and provided suggestions, guidance, technical assistance, and encouragement, including: Ashton Berdine John Kunsman Jim Bissell Julie Lundgren Dave Boyd Kathy McKenna Chad Buhrman Ken Metzler Bureau of Forestry Staff Susan Munch Don Cameron Chris Nowak Dick Croop Greg Podniesinski Roger Dorsey Connie Reightler Greg Edinger Carol Reschke Jenni Farber Ann Rhoads Chris Firestone Rich Ring Ted Grisez Ann Robinson Steve Grund Lesley Sneddon Stevens Heckscher Kim Steiner Robert Hill Susan Stout Steve
