, ▁foam ▁flower , ▁tr ill ium , ▁oak ▁f ern , ▁and ▁lady ▁f ern . ▁The ▁micro cl imate ▁of ▁the ▁under story ▁is ▁moder ated ▁by ▁the ▁forest ▁can opy ▁causing ▁the ▁conditions ▁to ▁be ▁cool er ▁and ▁mo ister ▁in ▁the ▁summer ▁and ▁war mer ▁in ▁the ▁winter . ▁Pacific ▁silver ▁fir ▁seed lings ▁and ▁sap lings ▁are ▁often ▁found ▁growing ▁under ▁their ▁own ▁can op ies ▁or ▁those ▁of ▁a ▁mixed ▁can opy ▁forest . ▁Along ▁streams ▁in ▁this ▁e core g ion , ▁breaks ▁in ▁the ▁forest ▁are ▁replaced ▁by ▁mountain ▁al der , ▁will ow ▁and ▁vine ▁map le ▁and ▁her bs ▁such ▁as ▁sa x if rage , ▁yellow ▁will ow - her b , ▁mon key ▁flowers , ▁and ▁blue b ells ▁can ▁be ▁found . ▁Mountain ▁al der ▁and ▁vine ▁map le ▁can ▁also ▁be ▁found ▁around ▁lake ▁edges ▁and ▁in ▁areas ▁of ▁flat ▁or ▁gentle ▁sl opes , ▁b ogs , ▁or ▁mar sh ▁habitat . ▁Examples ▁of ▁Pacific ▁silver ▁fir ▁forests ▁can ▁be ▁found ▁in ▁the ▁Commonwealth ▁Bas in ▁and ▁the ▁Snow ▁Lake ▁areas ▁of ▁the ▁Al p ine ▁L akes ▁Wild erness . ▁ ▁Sub al p ine ▁Mountain ▁Hem lock ▁E core g ion ▁ ▁M oving ▁up ▁in ▁elev ation ▁from ▁the ▁Silver ▁F ir ▁E core g ion , ▁between ▁about ▁ ▁on ▁the ▁west ▁side ▁of ▁the ▁C ascade ▁Range , ▁the ▁e core g ion ▁shifts ▁to ▁the ▁Sub al p ine ▁Mountain ▁Hem lock |
▁E core g ion . ▁ ▁This ▁e core g ion ▁has ▁a ▁c older ▁annual ▁average ▁temperature ▁of ▁ ▁with ▁average ▁annual ▁precip itation ▁between ▁. ▁This ▁e core g ion ▁consists ▁of ▁mountain ▁hem lock ▁forests , ▁sub al p ine ▁me adows , ▁streams , ▁l akes , ▁wet lands ▁and ▁a val anche ▁g ull ies ▁creating ▁distinct ▁patterns ▁of ▁new ▁success ion . ▁In ▁the ▁lower ▁ends ▁of ▁this ▁e core g ion ▁there ▁are ▁continuous ▁closed ▁can opy ▁forests ▁while ▁the ▁higher ▁reaches ▁will ▁see ▁m osa ics ▁of ▁me adows ▁with ▁patches ▁of ▁mountain ▁hem lock ▁forests . ▁The ▁mountain ▁hem lock ▁forests ▁consist ▁of ▁mountain ▁hem lock , ▁sub al p ine ▁fir , ▁Alaska ▁yellow - ced ar , ▁and ▁Pacific ▁silver ▁fir . ▁Washington ' s ▁al p ine ▁and ▁sub al p ine ▁areas ▁account ▁for ▁about ▁ 4 . 4 % ▁of ▁its ▁total ▁land ▁area . ▁▁▁▁▁▁ ▁Progress ing ▁upward ▁from ▁the ▁gradient ▁of ▁Silver ▁F ir ▁and ▁Mountain ▁Hem lock ▁e core g ions , ▁the ▁mountain ▁hem lock ▁( T s uga ▁m ert ens iana ) ▁tends ▁to ▁become ▁the ▁dominant ▁con ifer , ▁although ▁it ▁may ▁cod om inate ▁with ▁the ▁Alaska ▁c ed ar ▁and ▁Pacific ▁silver ▁fir . ▁ ▁Mountain ▁hem lock ▁trees ▁live ▁as ▁long ▁as ▁ 1 0 0 0 ▁years : ▁longer ▁than ▁the ▁Pacific ▁silver ▁fir . ▁T rees ▁between ▁ 5 0 0 – 7 0 0 ▁years ▁may |
▁be ▁ ▁tall . ▁Hem lock ▁con es ▁are ▁about ▁ ▁in ▁length ▁and ▁develop ▁at ▁the ▁ends ▁of ▁branches . ▁These ▁con if ers ▁are ▁easy ▁to ▁distinguish ▁amongst ▁the ▁others ▁with ▁their ▁dense ▁gray ish - green ▁need les . ▁According ▁to ▁Franklin ▁and ▁D yr ness , ▁the ▁under story ▁where ▁the ▁mountain ▁hem lock ▁and ▁Pacific ▁silver ▁fir ▁co - dom inate ▁is ▁dominated ▁by ▁tall ▁mountain ▁h uck le berry ; ▁where ▁the ▁Alaska ▁c ed ar ▁domin ates , ▁the ▁under story ▁is ▁dominated ▁by ▁dense ▁coll age ▁of ▁rh od od end ron , ▁h uck le berry ▁and ▁mountain ▁ash . ▁ ▁In ▁the ▁higher ▁boundaries ▁of ▁sub al p ine ▁ecosystem , ▁where ▁the ▁ab i otic ▁conditions ▁are ▁more ▁stress ful , ▁trees ▁are ▁cl umped ▁together ▁in ▁patch y ▁islands . ▁T rees ▁in ▁this ▁area ▁can ▁be ▁recognized ▁by ▁its ▁k rum m hol z ▁form . ▁ ▁T rees ▁of ▁this ▁upper ▁boundary ▁will ▁take ▁on ▁a ▁flag ▁appearance ▁with ▁branches ▁extending ▁from ▁one ▁side ▁indicating ▁the ▁prev ailing ▁wind ▁directions . ▁ ▁The ▁skirt ▁height ▁of ▁the ▁trees ▁is ▁indic ative ▁of ▁the ▁height ▁of ▁snow ▁cover ▁where ▁branches ▁tend ▁not ▁to ▁grow . ▁There ▁are ▁various ▁reasons ▁as ▁to ▁why ▁these ▁trees ▁take ▁this ▁form . ▁ ▁Strong ▁winds ▁combined ▁with ▁ice ▁particles ▁will ▁cause ▁ab r asion ▁sc our ing ▁the ▁w axy ▁cut icle ▁from ▁one ▁side ▁of ▁the ▁tree ▁creating ▁damage ▁that ▁will ▁prevent ▁branch |
▁formation ▁and ▁growth . ▁In ▁addition , ▁the ▁wind ▁will ▁cause ▁des icc ation ▁and ▁ev ap oration ▁in ▁the ▁need les ▁causing ▁branches ▁to ▁die ▁on ▁this ▁side ▁of ▁the ▁trees . ▁▁▁▁▁▁ ▁Sc attered ▁amongst ▁the ▁island ▁patches ▁of ▁trees ▁in ▁the ▁upper ▁boundaries ▁are ▁park land ▁areas ▁with ▁show y ▁me adows . ▁ ▁Events ▁such ▁as ▁fire , ▁a val anches , ▁snow ▁sl ump ing ▁and ▁climate ▁change ▁make ▁the ▁boundaries ▁of ▁these ▁areas ▁and ▁the ▁balance ▁of ▁trees ▁and ▁me adows ▁dynamic . ▁The ▁forest ▁islands ▁typically ▁consist ▁of ▁mountain ▁hem lock , ▁sub al p ine ▁fir , ▁and ▁Alaska ▁c ed ar . ▁Often ▁there ▁are ▁invas ions ▁of ▁trees ▁into ▁me adow ▁areas ▁and ▁this ▁reached ▁a ▁peak ▁in ▁the ▁ 1 9 3 0 s ▁due ▁to ▁considerable ▁war ming . ▁In vas ions ▁of ▁me adows ▁by ▁trees ▁can ▁also ▁occur ▁with ▁disturb ances . ▁ ▁The ▁beauty ▁of ▁me adows ▁is ▁very ▁popular ▁amongst ▁h ik ers . ▁ ▁Wild flow ers ▁that ▁are ▁found ▁in ▁this ▁e core g ion ▁are ▁the ▁t iger ▁l ily , ▁gl ac ier ▁l ily , ▁be ad ▁l ily , ▁queen ' s ▁cup , ▁col umb ine , ▁aster , ▁tr ill ium , ▁pear ly ▁ever last ing , ▁val er ian , ▁sky rock et , ▁shooting ▁star , ▁pen st emon , ▁l ouse wort , ▁mountain ▁bog ▁gent ian , ▁mon key ▁flower , ▁mon k sh |

ils ' ▁heat ▁loss ▁and ▁gain . ▁However , ▁the ▁snow pack ▁acts ▁as ▁an ▁ins ulating ▁buffer ▁against ▁temperature ▁change ▁in ▁so ils . ▁The ▁mountain ▁hem lock ▁forests ▁are ▁the ▁wet test ▁and ▁cold est ▁of ▁the ▁C ascade ▁forest ▁zones . ▁▁▁▁▁ ▁In ▁the ▁rich ness ▁of ▁this ▁region ▁many ▁animal ▁species ▁pass ▁through ▁this ▁zone ▁at ▁least ▁one ▁season ▁a ▁year ▁such ▁as ▁mountain ▁go at , ▁black - t ailed ▁deer , ▁American ▁black ▁bear , ▁el k , ▁cou gar , ▁and ▁many ▁bird ▁species . ▁Only ▁the ▁whist ling ▁ho ary ▁m arm ot ▁is ▁restricted ▁to ▁al p ine ▁and ▁sub al p ine ▁areas . ▁Besides ▁the ▁rich ness ▁of ▁mamm als ▁there ▁is ▁a ▁rich ness ▁of ▁insect s ▁that ▁are ▁integral ▁to ▁the ▁abundance ▁of ▁flower ing ▁plant ▁species ▁in ▁this ▁area . ▁Another ▁important ▁poll inator ▁in ▁this ▁area ▁is ▁the ▁hum ming bird . ▁There ▁is ▁still ▁much ▁to ▁be ▁re se ar ched ▁and ▁discovered ▁to ▁better ▁understand ▁species ▁interactions ▁and ▁rel iance ▁in ▁both ▁the ▁al p ine ▁and ▁sub al p ine ▁ecosystem s . ▁ ▁Al p ine ▁E core g ion ▁ ▁The ▁Al p ine ▁E core g ion ▁makes ▁up ▁much ▁of ▁the ▁North ▁C asc ades . ▁▁ ▁Al p ine ▁areas ▁such ▁as ▁this ▁are ▁rug ged ▁with ▁rock y ▁rid ges , ▁snow fields , ▁partially ▁veget ated ▁terrain , ▁and ▁are ▁above ▁the ▁natural ▁tre eline . ▁The ▁tim |
ber line ▁in ▁the ▁Al p ine ▁L akes ▁Wild erness ▁is ▁found ▁at ▁approximately ▁. ▁ ▁The ▁average ▁annual ▁temperature ▁is ▁ ▁with ▁only ▁a ▁mean ▁annual ▁precip itation ▁of ▁. ▁These ▁conditions ▁along ▁with ▁winds ▁and ▁blowing ▁ice ▁are ▁not ▁con duc ive ▁for ▁trees . ▁Because ▁of ▁the ▁extreme ▁temperatures ▁and ▁low ▁precip itation ▁there ▁are ▁few ▁plant ▁species ▁as ▁compared ▁to ▁lower ▁elev ation ▁ecosystem s ▁and ▁they ▁are ▁simpler ▁in ▁structure . ▁However , ▁precip itation , ▁or ▁lack ▁there of , ▁is ▁a ▁more ▁important ▁limiting ▁factor ▁than ▁temperature . ▁Both ▁plant ▁and ▁animal ▁species ▁have ▁adapted ▁in ▁many ▁different ▁ways ▁to ▁deal ▁with ▁this ▁challenging ▁environment . ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ ▁This ▁high ▁elev ation ▁habitat ▁of ▁high ▁winds , ▁prolong ed ▁snow ▁cover , ▁steep ▁terrain , ▁high ▁temperature ▁vari ability , ▁and ▁intense ▁UV ▁radiation ▁lead ▁to ▁special ▁species ▁adapt ations . ▁Al p ine ▁regions ▁generally ▁have ▁hyp ox ic ▁conditions ▁that ▁lead ▁to ▁additional ▁energy ▁expenses ▁for ▁organ isms . ▁Incre ased ▁elev ations ▁usually ▁lead ▁to ▁shorter ▁breed ing ▁season ▁in ▁animals , ▁as ▁is ▁the ▁case ▁in ▁the ▁al p ine ▁ecosystem s ▁in ▁the ▁North ▁C asc ades . ▁ ▁In ▁addition ▁to ▁the ▁shorter ▁breed ing ▁season , ▁wildlife ▁often ▁requires ▁season al ▁movement ▁to ▁different ▁elev ations ▁in ▁order ▁to ▁find ▁adequate ▁food ▁and ▁habitat . ▁However , ▁species ▁such ▁as ▁the ▁white - t ailed ▁pt arm igan , ▁ho ary ▁m arm ots , ▁and ▁p ik as |
▁remain ▁in ▁high ▁elev ations ▁of ▁the ▁C asc ades ▁year ▁round ▁left ▁only ▁to ▁go ▁to ▁patch y ▁and ▁scattered ▁al p ine ▁veget ation . ▁ ▁The ▁majority ▁of ▁species ▁will ▁move ▁to ▁lower ▁elev ations ▁at ▁some ▁time ▁throughout ▁their ▁life ▁history . ▁ ▁Ad apt ations ▁such ▁as ▁tor por ▁in ▁hum ming bird s , ▁the ▁ability ▁of ▁mountain ▁go ats ▁and ▁c oy otes ▁to ▁cam ou fl age ▁in ▁the ▁landscape , ▁animals ▁developing ▁extra ▁fat ▁depos its , ▁and ▁the ▁r apt or ' s ▁ability ▁to ▁move ▁efficiently ▁in ▁the ▁strong ▁winds ▁illustr ate ▁just ▁some ▁of ▁the ▁ways ▁species ▁have ▁been ▁ability ▁to ▁cope ▁with ▁al p ine ▁conditions . ▁The ▁white - t ailed ▁pt arm igan ▁has ▁an ▁ad aption ▁of ▁changing ▁its ▁pl um age ▁from ▁ ▁white ▁in ▁the ▁winter ▁to ▁brown ▁in ▁the ▁summer ▁in ▁order ▁to ▁cam ou fl age . ▁Many ▁species ▁in ▁higher ▁elev ations ▁produce ▁fewer ▁off spring ▁than ▁in ▁lower ▁elev ations ▁but ▁spend ▁more ▁time ▁n urt uring ▁their ▁young . ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ ▁While ▁al p ine ▁ecosystem s ▁provide ▁challenging ▁ab i otic ▁conditions ▁for ▁species ▁there ▁are ▁advantages ▁to ▁animal ▁species ▁to ▁habit uate ▁these ▁areas . ▁ ▁In ▁the ▁winter ▁while ▁there ▁is ▁extensive ▁snow ▁pack ▁there ▁are ▁also ▁strong ▁winds ▁that ▁will ▁expose ▁her b ace ous ▁st ems ▁and ▁seeds ▁for ▁animals ▁to ▁for age ▁on . ▁In sect s ▁that ▁are ▁blown ▁up ▁from ▁lower ▁elev ations |
▁will ▁land ▁on ▁the ▁snow ▁beds ▁in ▁the ▁spring ▁offering ▁much ▁nutrition ▁for ▁birds ▁and ▁other ▁mamm als ▁that ▁breed ▁in ▁the ▁al p ine . ▁When ▁snow fields ▁melt ▁it ▁creates ▁a ▁gradient ▁of ▁plant ▁phen ology ▁which ▁provides ▁emerging ▁veget ation ▁over ▁a ▁period ▁of ▁time ▁for ▁her b iv ores ▁to ▁feed ▁on ▁and ▁migr ate ▁along ▁this ▁line . ▁ ▁Spring ▁for aging ▁is ▁believed ▁to ▁be ▁crucial ▁in ▁the ▁breed ing ▁in ▁a ▁number ▁of ▁species ▁such ▁as ▁the ▁mountain ▁go at . ▁Le af ▁bud ding ▁and ▁fru iting ▁ ▁in ▁late ▁summer ▁past ▁the ▁edges ▁of ▁snow fields ▁also ▁offer ▁food ▁for ▁the ▁animals ▁that ▁depend ▁ ▁on ▁this ▁area . ▁Black ▁bears , ▁song bird s ▁and ▁m arm ots ▁in ▁the ▁North ▁C asc ades ▁and ▁Al p ine ▁L akes ▁can ▁find ▁cover ▁in ▁l ush ▁veget ation ▁in ▁a val anche ▁ch utes ▁adjacent ▁to ▁the ▁sub al p ine ▁forests . ▁There ▁seems ▁to ▁also ▁be ▁evidence ▁that ▁there ▁is ▁a ▁lower ▁rate ▁of ▁paras it ism ▁and ▁disease ▁in ▁these ▁ ▁high ▁al p ine ▁elev ations ▁offering ▁yet ▁another ▁advantage ▁to ▁al p ine ▁species . ▁ ▁The ▁al p ine ▁g rou se ▁is ▁one ▁example ▁of ▁an ▁al p ine ▁animal ▁that ▁has ▁few ▁blood ▁in fections ▁or ▁int est inal ▁paras ites . ▁Other ▁animal ▁species ▁in ▁the ▁summer ▁months ▁will ▁migr ate ▁into ▁the ▁higher ▁al p ine ▁elev ations ▁to ▁avoid ▁insect s ▁and |

rical ▁tube ▁would ▁not ▁permit ▁driving ▁pressure ▁to ▁decrease ▁with ▁flow ▁rate , ▁resulting ▁in ▁the ▁ball ▁rising ▁to ▁the ▁top ▁of ▁the ▁tube , ▁and ▁allowing ▁for ▁no ▁variance ▁in ▁read ings . ▁The ▁flow ▁rate ▁of ▁a ▁specific ▁gas ▁necessary ▁to ▁cause ▁the ▁float ▁to ▁rise ▁to ▁a ▁given ▁height ▁is ▁pre cal cul ated ▁in ▁order ▁to ▁cal ibr ate ▁a ▁tube . ▁ ▁A ▁variety ▁of ▁float ▁shapes ▁may ▁be ▁seen ▁with ▁older ▁Thor pe ▁tube ▁flow met ers , ▁and ▁all ▁flo ats ▁should ▁be ▁read ▁from ▁the ▁top ▁of ▁the ▁float , ▁except ▁for ▁the ▁ball ▁float , ▁which ▁is ▁read ▁from ▁its ▁center . ▁ ▁Flo ats ▁should ▁rot ate ▁in ▁the ▁a irst ream , ▁and ▁the ▁absence ▁of ▁rotation ▁may ▁indicate ▁fault y ▁read ings ▁resulting ▁from ▁the ▁float ▁catching ▁on ▁the ▁tube . ▁ ▁The ▁needle ▁val ve ▁may ▁be ▁located ▁pro x imal ▁or ▁dist al ▁to ▁the ▁in let ▁port ; ▁these ▁two ▁types ▁of ▁flow m eter ▁are ▁respectively ▁called ▁' non - comp ens ated ' ▁or ▁' comp ens ated '. ▁ ▁The ▁original ▁Thor pe ▁tube ▁flow m eter ▁is ▁the ▁non - comp ens ated ▁type : ▁it ▁works ▁with ▁a ▁fixed ▁or if ice ▁and ▁variable ▁pressure . ▁The ▁non - comp ens ated ▁type ▁is ▁more ▁accurate ▁for ▁low ▁flow ▁rates , ▁such ▁as ▁are ▁used ▁in ▁ne on atal ▁units , ▁laboratory ▁experiments , ▁or ▁an a est hetic ▁machines . ▁Comp ens |
ated ▁flow met ers ▁work ▁with ▁a ▁variable ▁or if ice ▁and ▁fixed ▁pressure . ▁ ▁They ▁ ▁read ▁back ▁pressure , ▁and ▁take ▁into ▁account ▁resistance ▁changes ▁down stream ▁from ▁the ▁needle ▁val ve . ▁ ▁If ▁pressure ▁exceed s ▁ 5 0 ▁ps ig ▁down stream , ▁flow ▁ce ases . ▁ ▁The ▁types ▁can ▁be ▁distinguished ▁by ▁their ▁response ▁when ▁gas ▁starts ▁to ▁flow . ▁In ▁compens ated ▁flow met ers , ▁the ▁ball ▁will ▁initially ▁jump ▁as ▁the ▁gas ▁flows ▁through ▁the ▁tube ▁before ▁being ▁released ▁through ▁the ▁needle ▁val ve ▁just ▁before ▁the ▁out let . ▁No ▁result ▁will ▁be ▁observed ▁in ▁the ▁non - comp ens ated ▁flow ▁meter , ▁as ▁the ▁gas ▁will ▁release ▁before ▁reaching ▁the ▁tap ered ▁tube ▁containing ▁the ▁float . ▁ ▁Although ▁Thor pe ▁tube ▁flow met ers ▁are ▁very ▁similar ▁in ▁design ▁and ▁function ▁to ▁rot am eters , ▁the ▁latter ▁are ▁more ▁accurate . ▁ ▁As ▁a ▁result , ▁Thor pe ▁f ube ▁flow met ers ▁are ▁often ▁checked ▁against ▁rot am eters ▁to ▁ensure ▁their ▁accuracy . ▁Rot am eters ▁are ▁also ▁used ▁on ▁an a est hes ia ▁machines , ▁where ▁precise ▁measurement ▁of ▁gas ▁delivery ▁is ▁crucial ▁to ▁the ▁well being ▁of ▁the ▁patient . ▁ ▁Application ▁▁ ▁Thor pe ▁tube ▁flow met ers ▁are ▁designed ▁for ▁use ▁only ▁on ▁systems ▁not ▁supp lying ▁more ▁than ▁ 5 0 ▁P SI ▁( ▁about ▁ 3 ▁bar ). ▁The ▁flow met ers ▁will ▁be ▁lab elled ▁for ▁the |
▁gas ▁they ▁are ▁specific ▁to . ▁ ▁Additional ▁color - c oding ▁may ▁be ▁used , ▁for ▁example , ▁O 2 ▁flow met ers ▁may ▁have ▁white ▁and ▁green ▁labels , ▁since ▁white ▁and ▁green ▁are ▁respectively ▁the ▁Canadian ▁and ▁American ▁colours ▁identifying ▁this ▁gas . ▁The ▁flow m eter ▁will ▁have ▁a ▁safety ▁Rel ief ▁val ve ▁to ▁relie ve ▁excess ▁pressure . ▁ ▁In accur ate ▁flow ▁read ings ▁may ▁occur ▁if ▁the ▁device ▁is ▁damaged , ▁or ▁cont am inated ▁with ▁water ▁or ▁debris . ▁Flow met ers ▁are ▁only ▁cal ibr ated ▁for ▁a ▁specified ▁gas ▁and ▁will ▁not ▁directly ▁read ▁accurately ▁on ▁g ases ▁of ▁different ▁density . ▁Changes ▁in ▁pressure ▁or ▁temperature ▁will ▁also ▁affect ▁the ▁accuracy , ▁and ▁may ▁be ▁significant ▁in ▁air ▁transport , ▁or ▁cities ▁at ▁high ▁alt itudes . ▁Flow met ers ▁are ▁only ▁cal ibr ated ▁in ▁the ▁vertical ▁position , ▁and ▁for ▁flow ▁rates ▁less ▁than ▁ 1 5 ▁lit res ▁per ▁minute . ▁ ▁See ▁also ▁Flow ▁measurement ▁ ▁Re ferences ▁ ▁Br anson , ▁Richard ▁D ., ▁et ▁al . ▁ ▁' Res p ir atory ▁Care ▁Equipment , ▁ 2 nd ▁Edition '. ▁ ▁Cont . ▁B anner ▁et ▁al . ▁ ▁pp . 5 8 – 6 2 . ▁ ▁( Phil adelphia : ▁ ▁L ipp inc ott ▁Williams ▁& ▁Wil kins , ▁ 1 9 9 9 ). ▁ ▁C airo , ▁J .
