Description: This forest association is found on flat to convex slopes and major ridges in Oregon's eastern Cascades and may extend into adjacent California. Elevations range between 1525-1980 m (5000-6500 feet) elevation. Occurrences are found on all aspects and a variety of slopes (5-40%). Soils are coarse-textured sandy loam or sandy clay loam. Pinus ponderosa and Abies concolor dominate the overstory with only occasional Pinus contorta. The shrub layer consists of Arctostaphylos patula, Mahonia spp., Symphoricarpos mollis, Fragaria sp., The understory is typified by Elymus elymoides ssp. elymoides (= Sitanion hystrix) and Poa wheeleri. Stands become codominated by Abies concolor when naturally frequent fire cycles are prolonged.  Accession Code: VB.CC.23082.ABIESCONCOLORPI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
