Name: Pinus ponderosa / Artemisia tridentata ssp. vaseyana / Poa nervosa Woodland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This woodland is reported from the Fremont National Forest in Oregon. Elevation ranges from 5800-7000 feet. Aspect is south to northwest. Slope is 1-25% and slope position is the lower to upper one-third. The topography is flat to convex and also ridgetops. Soils are ash over basalt, andesite and loess. Pinus ponderosa is the most common tree, but Juniperus occidentalis is often found. Pinus contorta and Abies concolor occur occasionally. Artemisia tridentata ssp. vaseyana occurs in all stands and Symphoricarpos albus and Ribes cereum are common. Common herbaceous species include Poa nervosa, Lupinus argenteus, Achillea millefolium, Elymus elymoides, Carex pensylvanica, Festuca idahoensis, Fragaria virginiana, and Hieracium albiflorum. Fire is important in these forests to maintain the open nature of the forest, with scattered large Pinus ponderosa trees and limited shrub cover.
