Name: Populus tremuloides - Pinus flexilis Forest Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This mixed deciduous-and-evergreen woodland occurs on mountain slopes from western Wyoming south to southern Utah and west to eastern Nevada. Stands generally grow on fairly steep, south-facing slopes with a variety of geologic substrates, at altitudes above 2650 m (8700 feet). Populus tremuloides dominates the tree overstory, and Pinus flexilis contributes substantial cover. Other conifers may be present, but Pinus flexilis clearly contributes more cover. The composition of the undergrowth varies widely among stands, and no species is present in all stands. The large amount of Pinus flexilis in the overstory, relative to other conifers, sets this association apart from other Populus tremuloides - conifer associations.  Accession Code: VB.CC.24260.POPULUSTREMULOI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
