Percent basal area of the most abundant species by elevation class.

<p>Latitudinally corrected elevation (EC) was used. Species are coded based on the first two letters of the genus and species. A total of 22 unique overstory species were observed with the other category represents species with less than <5% basal area by elevation class. Percent basal area includes live overstory (>2.54 cm dbh) trees. Species codes: PIPO = <i>Pinus ponderosa</i>; PSME = <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i>; PIFL = <i>Pinus flexilis</i>; JUSC = <i>Juniperus scopulorum</i>; ABCO = <i>Abies concolor</i>; POTR = <i>Populus tremuloides</i>; PIEN = Picea engelmannii; ABLA = <i>Abies lasiocarpa</i>; PICO = <i>Pinus contorta</i>.
