Description: This is a coniferous community found at cool, dry sites. It is widely distributed in Oregon's Klamath-Siskiyou region and may also occur in adjacent California. Stands are found at elevation of 1070-1980 m (3500-6500 feet) on a variety of slopes and aspects. Surprisingly little is documented about the soils character except that they are deep and often of granodiorite, gabbros or of mixed volcanic origin. Abies concolor and Pseudotsuga menziesii are the most common species in the tree canopy cover averaging 35% and 24%, respectively. Symphoricarpos mollis is the most common shrub and averages 4% cover. No other shrub or herb species has more than 2% cover.
