Northern Rocky Mountains (Lubrecht, MT)
- University of Montana
- Mixed-conifer forest: Ponderosa pine and Douglas-fir
- Fire return interval: 5-30 years
- Represents several million hectares in the northern Rocky Mountains
Forests dominated by ponderosa pine, and ponderosa pine/Douglas-fir and managed by the Montana Forest and Conservation Experiment Station of the University of Montana. Visit the Lubrecht Forest web site.
