A floristic inventory of the plant communities of the San Francisco Peaks Research Natural Area

The San Francisco Peaks Research Natural Area (hereafter referred to as the SFPRNA or the Natural Area) was established in 1935. It reserves, for future study, representative alpine and subalpine communities in northern Arizona. One of the original criteria for selecting the present location of the...
