Relation to Other Procedures: Vegetation classification followed is consistent with 

 Youngblood et al. (1985). The procedure uses standard landform description, soil taxonomy, 

 moisture regimes, and has flexibility to incorporate many types of attributes. 



Automated Data Processing: Not easily converted to a standard ADP system. Would woric 

 well in a knowledge based system (expert system), however. 



Limitations and Assumptions: The procedure uses such an integration of various hierarchi- 

 cal attributes that major limitations are unlikely. The procedure integrates both the riverine 

 and riparian system as it is viewed in the upper and middle levels of the hierarchical structure.
