Name: Abies concolor / Arctostaphylos patula Forest Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This woodland association has been reported from mountains and plateaus in southwestern Utah. Elevation ranges from 2390-2680 m (7840-8880 feet). Stands occur on a variety of sites including steep to gentle, middle to lower slopes and benches. Typically sites are relatively cool with northerly aspects common. Substrates are typically loamy soils derived from limestone parent materials. This association is characterized by an uneven-aged, open to moderately dense tree canopy that is dominated or codominated by Abies concolor. Codominants are Pinus ponderosa or Pseudotsuga menziesii. Dense patches of Arctostaphylos patula dominate the open to moderately dense shrub layer. Other shrub species present may include Paxistima myrsinites, Symphoricarpos oreophilus, Mahonia repens, Ceanothus spp., Juniperus communis, Ribes cereum, and Purshia tridentata. The herbaceous cover is sparse (<20% cover) and is primarily composed of graminoids with scattered forbs.  Accession Code: VB.CC.23794.ABIESCONCOLORAR Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
