Abstract
Very little has been published on the shore vegetation of lakes in Colorado. Brief references were made to lakes of the Pike's Peak region a number of years ago by Clements (I, 2). A somewhat extended account by the writer and W. W. Robbins (9) described the associations at Redrock Lake, Boulder County, Colorado, in the subalpine zone. Later, a short paper (5) pointed out certain features of shore vegetation in the montane zone. Recently Dr. Robbins has given a most careful and illuminating description (ii) of a number of lakes in the montane zone near Tolland, Colorado. The present writer, dealing with sedges of northern Colorado, has named and characterized (7) certain of the plant associations of lake shores at different altitudes. In a paper by Dodds (3) on the plankton crustacea of Colorado lakes there are some references to vegetation and a very good account of physiography and climate. The following pages give the results of a study of subalpine lakes, the study carried on chiefly from the University of Colorado Mountain Laboratory (8) at Tolland, Colorado, during the last ten years. A later paper will take up alpine lakes. PHYSIOGRAPHY
