Name: Abies grandis / Senecio triangularis Forest Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This forest association is found at low to mid elevations of the Abies grandis zone, as a minor type, in northern Idaho and northwestern Montana. Stands are relatively warm and located on bottomlands, moist benches, and toeslopes with seasonally high water tables. The tree layer is codominated by Abies grandis and Picea engelmannii, with Abies grandis showing a greater reproductive capacity under heavy shading. Pseudotsuga menziesii and Larix occidentalis may be present on the edges or drier portions of the type. Medium-tall shrubs, such as Acer glabrum and Menziesia ferruginea, may be present but with low cover. Athyrium filix-femina, a fern, is usually present with greater than 50% constancy. The understory is represented by a diversity of moist-site forbs that include Asarum caudatum, Clintonia uniflora, Coptis occidentalis, Galium triflorum, and Senecio triangularis.  Accession Code: VB.CC.20984.ABIESGRANDISSEN Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
