Abstract
The present paper describes further the ground vegetation of spurce-fir climax stands in southwestern Alberta.A small number of "key" plants selected from almost every plant group is shown to be correlated with mature spruce and fir and to delimit sharply this climax stage of coniferous forest succession from all earlier stages.The stability of spruce-fir stands is briefly discussed.Keywords
