Name: A.1665
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: Plant associations within this alliance occur in the subalpine in the central and southern Rocky Mountains. Elevations range from 3300-3600 m. Types are found around springs, along streams, and below snowpatches. Stands occur on both east- and west-facing slopes. The general aspect of stands is quite similar in that they occupy very wet micro-basins. Soils are clayey with an average pH of 6.2. The composition of the substrate varies from a mineral to humus type. The forb layer is dominated by ~Primula parryi$. Other associates in the forb stratum are ~Caltha leptosepala$ and ~Epilobium anagallidifolium$. The graminoid layer typically is composed of ~Deschampsia caespitosa$ and ~Juncus drummondii$. The moss layer is dominated by ~Philonotis tomentella$.
