Expansion
[edit]Currently, I think there's a lot that can be added to the article about the ecology of the system and the animals that live in it; more specifically the Oregon State article has a lot of info on the exact plant communities in various regions, though it's not state-specific (annoyingly, and breaking the current subheading system), and also where things grow, and the soils. The Habitats Alive article (available in the most part on Google Books) also has a lot of info on the animals (specifically) and ecology. The NPS articles have a good summary of the climate change and other threats. The info in the lead on the ecology might be able to be split out, and every good ecosystem article needs a good threats section. That's what I have if anyone is looking to expand it.
