Name: Abies concolor - Picea breweriana / Gaultheria ovatifolia / Orthilia secunda Forest Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association is a rare, mixed-conifer community located on cool, wet sites and codominated by the regional endemic Picea breweriana. This association is restricted to the Klamath-Siskiyou region at elevations of 1220-1525 m (4000-5000 feet). Aspects are variable with slopes ranging from 16-47%. Sites are characterized by concave topography on schist and mixed metamorphic parent material. Abies concolor, Picea breweriana, and Pinus lambertiana codominate the tree canopy with 17%, 17%, and 11% cover, respectively. Gaultheria ovatifolia, Chimaphila umbellata, and Vaccinium parvifolium are important understory components, each supporting about 8% cover.  Accession Code: VB.CC.23606.ABIESCONCOLORPI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
