Classification of some North Norwegian forest types
The vegetation in 19 selected forest stands in N Norway north of Saltfjellet mountains have been described and classified. Two different classification methods have been used: An ordinary phytosociological classification, and an automatic, unweighted classification. The two methods give very similar...

The vegetation in 19 selected forest stands in N Norway north of Saltfjellet mountains have been described and classified. Two different classification methods have been used: An ordinary phytosociological classification, and an automatic, unweighted classification. The two methods give very similar results. All the investigated forests belong in the class Vaccinio‐Piceetea. Some differences from South Norway seem to exist, e.g. Empetrum hermaphroditum and Vaccinium uliginosum are in the present investigation regarded as regional characteristic species of the class. The associations Barbilophozio‐Pinetum and Eu‐Piceetum are treated in some detail.
