Name: Abies concolor / Vaccinium membranaceum Forest Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association occurs in Oregon's southern Cascades and possibly in California. Occurrences are found at elevation of 915-1525 m (3000-5000 feet) on most aspects except south. Soils are basaltic, andesitic, or pumice/ash. This forest type is typified by uneven-aged stands of conifers with gaps occupied by hardwoods. Stands vary from relatively open to closed-canopy. The tree canopy is dominated by Pseudotsuga menziesii and Abies concolor with average cover of 56%. Vaccinium membranaceum, Mahonia nervosa (= var. nervosa), Paxistima myrsinites, and Chimaphila umbellata, are the most common species of the shrub layer which averages 60% cumulative cover. The herb layer averages cumulative 54% cover and is characterized by Achlys triphylla and Linnaea borealis ssp. longiflora.  Accession Code: VB.CC.25300.ABIESCONCOLORVA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
