Name: Abies grandis - Picea engelmannii / Maianthemum stellatum Forest Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This mixed-conifer forest occurs locally on Mount Hood National Forest in Oregon and in California. Stands occur at the upper elevational limits for Abies grandis, on moist, cold sites at elevations of 1220-1370 m (4000-4500 feet). A variety of aspects and slopes are possible, but relatively flat and concave sites are common. Soils are generally deep sandy loams of textured ash surface layers over basalt parent material. The tree canopy is codominated by Abies grandis (23%) and Picea engelmannii (20%), with Pseudotsuga menziesii (9%), and Pinus contorta (4%). The subcanopy species Acer glabrum var. douglasii and Acer circinatum each average 15% cover. Important forbs include Achlys triphylla (6%), Campanula scouleri (14%), Maianthemum stellatum (= Smilacina stellata) (2%), and Orthilia secunda (2%).  Accession Code: VB.CC.25582.ABIESGRANDISPIC Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
