Name: Populus tremuloides / Ceanothus velutinus Forest Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association is known from the western slope of Colorado at elevations of 2225-2650 m (7300-8700 feet). These forests occur on very well-drained, coarse to very coarse rocky soils with a variety of slope aspects. Typically, stands are located at the middle to upper portions of the slope. Populus tremuloides makes up a pure, but often open, tree canopy, while the shrub layer consists of a variable mix of Ceanothus velutinus, Paxistima myrsinites, Rubus parviflorus, Symphoricarpos oreophilus, Amelanchier alnifolia, and Sorbus scopulina. The herbaceous layer is dominated by Eucephalus engelmannii (= Aster engelmannii), Thalictrum fendleri, Arnica cordifolia, and Carex geyeri.  Accession Code: VB.CC.24934.POPULUSTREMULOI Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
