Name: Pinus longaeva Woodland Alliance Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This widely scattered subalpine woodland alliance grows on all slopes, especially ridges and upper slopes below timberline. It grows on dolomitic, limestone- or granite-derived soils. This woodland may occur under the driest conditions of the California subalpine woodlands. The growing season is limited by drought in the summer and cold in the winter. Precipitation, mostly as snow, falls in the winter. Stands are found between 2600 and 3600 m elevation. This alliance is dominated by Pinus longaeva as the sole or dominant tree in the canopy. Pinus flexilis may also be present. The shrub Cercocarpus intricatus is often present.  Accession Code: VB.CC.20091.PINUSLONGAEVAWO Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
