| What are zones defined by? | Primary climax tree species |
| What are subzones defined by? | Understory composition |
| What are the levels of the biogeoclimatic ecosystem classification system? | Biogeoclimatic zones Biogeoclimatic subzones Biogeoclimatic variant |
| How is are BEC zones written? | 3 caps letters = Biogeoclimatic zones 2 lower case letters = Biogeoclimatic subzones 1 number = variant ie. CWHxm1 |
| Why classify BEC zones? | • Communication • Forest management applications •Identify & protect rare ecosystems •Identify wildlife habitat • Establish riparian areas |
| What does certain vegetation reflect? | Site quality; moisture and nutrition |
| What are indicator plants? | Plants and plant communities occur under certain ecological conditions |
| What are bryophytes? | Plants that have no vascular system? |
| What are the 2 types of seeded plants? | Gymnosperms (Naked seed) - conifers Angiosperms (Ovaries/Flowers) - flowering plants |

| What are zonal sites and what is the significance of zonal sites? | They are sites within BEC zones or variants and are used to identify the subzones or variants. They show an average of the nutrient and moisture level |
