Name: Abies lasiocarpa / Packera sanguisorboides Forest
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This plant association is a local community of the Sacramento Mountains (Sierra Blanca Peak) in south-central New Mexico, but probably occurs in similar habitats in Arizona. It is found at elevations above 3050 m (10,000 feet) on slopes with deep, coarse loamy soils derived from monzonite and granite. Abies lasiocarpa is the dominant, and sometimes Picea engelmannii is a codominant. A rich and luxuriant herbaceous layer is diagnostic and dominated by Packera sanguisorboides (= Senecio sanguisorboides). Other common species include Ligusticum porteri, Osmorhiza depauperata, Actaea rubra ssp. arguta (= Actaea arguta), Bromus ciliatus var. richardsonii (= Bromus richardsonii), and Trisetum spicatum (= Trisetum montanum).
