Name: Tauschia stricklandii - Vaccinium deliciosum Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This association is limited to seasonally wet subalpine meadows on the northern and western sides of Mount Rainier, Washington. Sites are flat and have poor drainage. Soils are wet in early spring after snow melt and then dry out completely later in the summer. The vegetation is dominated by forbs or a mixture of forbs and dwarf-shrubs. <i>Tauschia stricklandii</i> is always dominant or codominant. <i>Vaccinium deliciosum</i> is common and typically codominant. <i>Ranunculus eschscholtzii, Oreostemma alpigenum (= Aster alpigenus), Claytonia lanceolata</i>, and <i>Antennaria lanata</i> are also frequent. Moss and lichen cover is typically nearly continuous in spaces between vascular plants.
