Name: Pseudotsuga menziesii - Picea engelmannii X glauca / Ptilium crista-castrensis Forest Reference: British Columbia Ministry of For... Description: This small-patch community is restricted to steep warm aspects within localized areas of its range. Sites are dry and soils are medium to coarse, usually on colluvial veneers over bedrock, or colluvium. The moderately closed forest canopy is typically dominated by Pseudotsuga menziesii, occasionally by Pinus contorta var. latifolia, with minor amounts of Picea engelmannii X glauca and Abies lasiocarpa var. lasiocarpa. Tree regeneration is typically Picea engelmannii X glauca, Pseudotsuga menziesii, and Abies lasiocarpa var. lasiocarpa. The shrub layer is moderately well-developed and includes a variety of species such as Vaccinium membranaceum, Spiraea betulifolia, Acer glabrum var. douglasii, Paxistima myrsinites, Amelanchier alnifolia, Rosa acicularis, Ribes lacustre, and Viburnum edule. The herb layer is less well-developed and usually includes low cover of Cornus canadensis, Linnaea borealis, Aralia nudicaulis, Orthilia secunda, Goodyera oblongifolia, and Maianthemum racemosum. The moss layer is well-developed and dominated by Pleurozium schreberi and Ptilium crista-castrensis, with Hylocomium splendens, Rhytidiadelphus triquetrus, and Dicranum polysetum.  Accession Code: VB.CC.27960.PSEUDOTSUGAMENZ Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
