Re: [ECOLOG-L] Plant Ecology Websites for the PNW
Natalie, You can also check out the Oregon Flora Project ( http://www.oregonflora.org/index.php) Also you may want to contact the site administrator for PDX Ecologists ( http://pdxecologists.tumblr.com/) and ask to post your e-mail on their listserv. I have found that folks are very helpful and respond to e-mails quickly with valuable information. Many of the individuals also work in restoration within the Portland area and will likely have information regarding herbivory and establishment rates.

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Plant Ecology Websites for the PNW
Unfortunately, for the great majority of plant species, the kind of data you seek has never been compiled. To take just the example I know best, the genus Achlys: after extensive searches on JSTOR, Google Scholar, and the stacks of an academic library, I still have zero information on its seed ecology or establishment rates (or indeed any aspect of its reproductive biology). For ecology, I have had to content myself with gleaning forest vegetation surveys for the ones that name it in a table of plants found in a given forest type or vegetation association, and have found only one or two brief references to herbivory. This, for a common, widespread plant that has been well-studied by phytochemists interested in its secondary metabolites.

Hi Natalie Here are a couple of links you may want to look at: Hi Natalie Here are a couple of links you may want to look at: http://www.inpaws.org/ (Indiana Native Plant and Wildflower Society) and http://www.wildflower.org/plants/ (LadyBird Johnson Center) I have bought books for my children. We use these a lot when we go hiking – I really like them. They may be of use to you. Do a search under “National Audubon Society Guides” ... e.g., for plants, wild flowers etc. They are so well written with lots of pictures and you can put them in your rucksack when hiking (i.e., compact with lots of information).
