Name: Tauschia stricklandii Herbaceous Alliance Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: Stands included in this alliance are limited to seasonally wet subalpine meadows on the northern and western sides of Mount Rainier, Washington. Elevation is approximately 1900 m. Sites are flat and have poor drainage. Soils are wet in early spring after snowmelt and then dry out completely later in the summer. Parent material is andesite. Forbs or a mixture of forbs and dwarf-shrubs dominate the vegetation. Tauschia stricklandii is always dominant or codominant. Vaccinium deliciosum is common and typically codominant. Ranunculus eschscholtzii, Oreostemma alpigenum (= Aster alpigenus), Carex spectabilis, Claytonia lanceolata, and Antennaria lanata are also frequently present. Moss and lichen cover is typically nearly continuous in spaces between vascular plants (70-80%).  Accession Code: VB.CC.25371.TAUSCHIASTRICKL Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
