Name: Pinus ponderosa / Symphoricarpos oreophilus Forest Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This plant association is described for sites within the Seven Devils and western Boise mountains in Idaho, the Aquarius Plateau and Abajo Mountains in Utah, and Oregon. The association occurs with minor to local abundance in the two biophysical regions. In the northern portion of the range the association occurs on south-facing ridgetop and upper-slope positions at approximately 1525 m (5000 feet) elevation. In the south, the association occurs on gentle to moderate, south- to west-facing slopes in mid-slope positions at elevations ranging from 2400-2680 m (7900-8800 feet). Pseudotsuga menziesii forests are adjacent on less severe sites. Stands are characterized by an open to closed overstory dominated by Pinus ponderosa. Symphoricarpos oreophilus, Purshia tridentata, and Amelanchier alnifolia are common associates of the conspicuous understory shrub layer.  Accession Code: VB.CC.18176.PINUSPONDEROSAS Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
