Introduction reads "More than 24,000 square miles of land in the eastern half of the State of Washington are too arid to support natural forest on the uplands. When first seen by white man a century and a half ago, the region was a steppe. The study here reported attempts to determine the character of the vegetation mosaic as it was when white man appeared on the scene, to establish the broad relationships of the different community-types to climate and soil, and to determine how fire and grazing modify the types." With maps, "stand numbers" and b&w photos.
