Report describing a land-classification system based upon potential natural vegetation is presented for the forests of central Idaho based on reconnaissance sampling of about 800 stands. A hierarchical taxonomic classification of forest sites developed using the habitat type concept is described. A total of eight climax series, 64 habitat types, and 55 additional phases of habitat types are defined and described. A diagnostic key is provided for field identification of the types based on indicator species used in development of the classification.
