Abstract
Relatively few studies have been made on the correlation of moss societies with tree species in climax associations in North America; this is true despite the fact that in Europe moss unions have been accorded considerable importance along with societies of larger plants in delimiting phytocoenoses. The present study is an attempt to characterize as accurately as possible the terrestrial moss communities of typical climax stands in a given area, largely in Mt. Rainier National Park, and to discover how closely related bryophyte occurrence, frequency, and coverage may be to the societies of higher plants.
