Description: This forest association has been reported from mountains in New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, and in Arizona along the Mogollon Rim. Elevations range from 1890-2930 m (6200-9600 feet). This community is widespread and often occurs on middle and lower slopes and all aspects except south and southwestern. Abies concolor and Pseudotsuga menziesii typically codominate the upper tree canopy. Pinus ponderosa, Pinus strobiformis, and Juniperus spp. may also be present. Quercus gambelii dominates the subcanopy and undergrowth. Other shrub species may include Amelanchier alnifolia, Symphoricarpos oreophilus, Robinia neomexicana, and Mahonia repens. The sparse to moderately dense herbaceous layer is typically composed of Carex rossii, Poa fendleriana, Lathyrus lanszwertii var. leucanthus (= Lathyrus arizonicus), Thalictrum fendleri, and Achillea millefolium. Stands transition to Pinus ponderosa / Quercus gambelii Woodland (CEGL000870) in drier sites.  Accession Code: VB.CC.24504.ABIESCONCOLORQU Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
