Name: Abies lasiocarpa - Pinus albicaulis / Arctostaphylos uva-ursi Woodland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association occurs at high elevations within a narrow portion of the range of Pinus albicaulis in north-central Washington State, perhaps extending into adjacent British Columbia, Canada. This appears mostly on southwest aspects at high elevations. Shallow soil and exposed rock are characteristic of this type. Canopies are open with a mix of Abies lasiocarpa, Pinus albicaulis, and Pseudotsuga menziesii trees. Larix occidentalis and Pinus contorta trees may also be present. The understory is often dominated by patches of the matted evergreen dwarf-shrub Arctostaphylos uva-ursi. It is always present with over 5% cover and usually associated with Paxistima myrsinites. Herbaceous plants are sparsely represented, although Calamagrostis rubescens or Carex rossii is usually present.  Accession Code: VB.CC.21090.ABIESLASIOCARPA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
