Name: Populus tremuloides / Tall Forbs Forest Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This <i>Populus tremuloides</i> forest is one of the most common and abundant aspen forest types in the Rocky Mountains. It occurs throughout mountainous areas and occurs on any aspect but tends to occur more often on north-facing slopes. It can be found on steep moist hillsides and often along narrow riparian areas. The broad-leaved deciduous tree canopy in dominated by <i>Populus tremuloides</i>. Low shrubs are virtually absent from this type. The undergrowth is characterized by a thick carpet of tall forbs (&lt;1 m) with no one species dominant. Tall forbs include <i>Agastache urticifolia, Delphinium x occidentale, Eucephalus engelmannii (= Aster engelmannii), Hackelia floribunda, Heracleum maximum (= Heracleum lanatum), Mertensia arizonica, Osmorhiza occidentalis, Senecio serra</i>, and <i>Valeriana occidentalis</i>. Other herbaceous species are present, including graminoid species. Forb species in streambank stands can be different from hillside stands.  Accession Code: VB.CC.31167.CEGL000618 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
