Name: Larix lyallii / Vaccinium deliciosum Woodland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: In the high Cascades of Washington, from the Stuart Range north into perhaps British Columbia, this association occurs mostly between the upper Chelan drainage to Mount Stuart. This may best be described as a parkland landscape often located near wetlands. It has a very open tree canopy usually with less than 25% cover. Larix lyallii is always present and often accompanied by Abies lasiocarpa, Picea engelmannii, Pinus albicaulis, or Tsuga mertensiana. Dwarf-shrubs dominate the ground cover, typically with less than 50% total cover. Vaccinium deliciosum and Cassiope mertensiana are always present, often with Phyllodoce empetriformis, Luetkea pectinata, or Vaccinium scoparium. Graminoids, such as Luzula glabrata var. hitchcockii (= Luzula hitchcockii), Carex nigricans, or Vahlodea atropurpurea (= Deschampsia atropurpurea), commonly appear among the short shrubs.  Accession Code: VB.CC.27752.LARIXLYALLIIVAC Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
