Name: Abies concolor - Pinus monticola / Ribes viscosissimum Forest
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This association is only known from the Warner Mountains of south-central Oregon and northeastern California. It is found on the mid and upper northerly slopes of moderate (10-30%) steepness. Elevations are between 6500 and 7400 feet. Soils are typically rocky loams over basalt or rhyolite parent material. Abies concolor is usually dominant, but Pinus monticola and Pinus ponderosa are also important in contributing to a mostly closed tree canopy. Ribes viscosissimum is common on most sites, but is occasionally absent. Common understory herbs are Hieracium albiflorum, Poa wheeleri, and Carex inops ssp. heliophila. After fires, Pinus monticola regenerates well, especially at higher elevations.
