One of the last frontiers for large scale ecological research in the United States has been the Pacific Northwest. Foresters have conducted silvicultural research in the area for many years, but until the late 1950's there had been few basic ecologic studies especially in the mountains near the coast. Daubenmire (1952, 1956) had done considerable work in the northern Rockies. Krajina and his students (Krajina 1965) began research during the late 1950's in the coastal and interior mountains in British Columbia, and Whittaker (1960) investigated the ecology of the Siskiyou Mountains in southern Oregon-northern California. Synecological studies in the Cascade Range began with the work of Franklin (1965, 1966). Some pertinent points concerning the ecology of the Olympic Peninsula were first stated by Jones (1936), although the book was basically a flora. Sharpe (1956) studied the rain forests, which are narrowly confined to three broad river valleys open to the Pacific Ocean.
