Name: Abies lasiocarpa / Trautvetteria caroliniensis Forest Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association is typified by large trees on very moist sites. This community is native from northern Idaho's Selkirk Mountains south to Oregon's Wallowa Mountains. Elevations range between 1220-1525 m (4000-5000 feet). Aspects are variable. Soils are silt loams and silt which are relatively deep. In Idaho and Washington, this community is associated with small draws and valleys less than 50 m wide. Oregon occurrences are mid-slopes as well as bottomland sites or sloping seeps. The tree canopy is dominated by Abies lasiocarpa and Picea engelmannii with 20-24% and 19-30% average cover, respectively. Small amounts of Pseudotsuga menziesii and Larix occidentalis occur in its northern distribution, while Oregon has minor Pinus contorta and Abies grandis cover. The major shrub is Vaccinium membranaceum (5-14% cover). Important forbs are Trautvetteria caroliniensis (13%) and Viola orbiculata (8%).  Accession Code: VB.CC.20876.ABIESLASIOCARPA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
