Name: Populus tremuloides / Ranunculus alismifolius Forest Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: Stands of this localized forest type are found in moist depressions at high elevations in western Wyoming. Sites supporting this type are moist depressions along streams or around seeps. Soils are silts or clays and have high water tables that restrict the distribution of Abies and shrubs to hummocks. The canopy is formed by Populus tremuloides, often of mixed size classes. Scattered Abies lasiocarpa often are present. Scattered shrubs (especially Lonicera involucrata and Ribes montigenum) may be present but the stand contains no distinct shrub layer. Ranunculus alismifolius dominates the herbaceous layer. Grazing may help to create stands of this association.  Accession Code: VB.CC.20702.POPULUSTREMULOI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
