Ecoregion in Rocky Mountains in ID, MT, WY

Generate High-Quality PDF

The rugged Gneissic – Schistose Forested Mountains ecoregion is glaciated, wet, and lithologically unlike nearby ecoregions. Its streams have flashy hydrographs; they experience only a short delay between rainfall and runoff peaks and have low flows during drought and freezing periods. Douglas-fir, lodgepole pine, and subalpine fir are common. Land uses include recreation, logging, and grazing.
