Name: Populus tremuloides / Prunus virginiana Forest Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This aspen forest type is found in the Rocky Mountains and Black Hills of the western United States. In the Black Hills, stands occur along mesic valley bottoms. The slopes can vary from steep (at the bottom of hillslopes) to gentle (along valley bottoms). This community is dominated by deciduous trees in the canopy but may have a small component of evergreen trees. Populus tremuloides is the most abundant tree species. Picea glauca (in the Black Hills) and Pinus ponderosa may also be present. The short-shrub layer is dominated by Prunus virginiana, and it often contains Amelanchier alnifolia, Ribes spp., and Symphoricarpos spp.  Accession Code: VB.CC.22908.POPULUSTREMULOI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
