Name: Picea glauca / Vaccinium scoparium Forest Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This white spruce community type is found in the Black Hills region of the United States. It had been found at elevations ranging from 1737-2040 m, where it occurs on calcareous, loamy soils on moderate slopes. The overstory is dominated by successfully reproducing Picea glauca with some mature Populus tremuloides and Pinus ponderosa remaining from earlier seral stages. The shrub layer is the most conspicuous understory layer. It is often dominated by Vaccinium scoparium. In some stands other shrubs may be more abundant, with only scattered Vaccinium scoparium. Other shrubs that are typically found are Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, Juniperus communis, Mahonia repens, Spiraea betulifolia, and Symphoricarpos albus. Major herbaceous species are Achillea millefolium, Galium boreale, Fragaria virginiana, Lathyrus ochroleucus, and Oryzopsis asperifolia. Mosses and lichens are rare to common.  Accession Code: VB.CC.18476.PICEAGLAUCAVACC Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
