Excerpt from Plant Indicators: The Relation of Plant Communities to Process and Practice The present book is intended to be a companion volume to Plant Succes sion. The latter was planned to contain several chapters on the applications of ecology, but these were omitted on account of the lack of space. Chief among these was the consideration of succession as the primary basis for a system of indicator plants, and this has been made the theme of the present treatise. For the sake of clearness, it has been necessary to give a concise account of the climax communities of the region concerned. The original plan included a brief summary of the priseres and subseres of the various climaxes, but the limitations of space have precluded this. The same reason has made it desirable to deal with principles and examples in the three fields of practice, rather than to attempt a complete account of the host of climax and seral communities which serve as indicators. The general principles and specific indicators have been tested repeatedly during the field work of the past five years, and the treatment has profited from the fact that a special inquiry into indicator relations throughout the West was made during the season of 1918.
