Name: Erigeron aureus Herbaceous Alliance Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This alliance occurs in alpine areas in the Washington Cascade Mountains. The elevational range extends from 1950-2500 m. These vegetation types grow between exposed rocks on nearly level to gentle southeast- and west-facing slopes. Sites are mesic to moderately dry fell-fields with significant frost action in the soils that causes stones to be pushed to the surface forming stone stripes. Stands have a sparse herbaceous layer codominated by two perennial forbs, Erigeron aureus and Lupinus sellulus var. lobbii. This community has relatively poor species diversity. Other associated species include Carex phaeocephala, Festuca brachyphylla, Minuartia obtusiloba, Penstemon procerus, Phlox diffusa, and Solidago simplex var. spathulata (= Solidago spathulata).  Accession Code: VB.CC.26071.ERIGERONAUREUSH Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
