Stands of cottonwood ( Populus trichocarpa ) grow along rivers and 

 streams throughout the working circle. The cottonwood forest type was sam- 

 pled at elevations of 3,600 to 5,700 feet. Most of the stands were comprised 

 almost entirely of cottonwood. Ninety-six percent of the estimated cubic foot 

 volume for this type is cottonwood. Although this type is not commercially 

 important, cottonwood stands serve an important role in maintaining river and 

 stream bank stability.
