Name: Populus tremuloides - Pseudotsuga menziesii / Symphoricarpos oreophilus Forest
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This forest association is known from throughout Utah, in the Yellowstone Plateau and southern Idaho. Most stands occur between 1800 and 2300 m (6000-7500 feet) elevation on gentle to steep slopes, on all aspects, primarily on soils derived from sedimentary parent materials. The tree layer is a mixture of <i>Populus tremuloides</i> and <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i>. Occasionally <i>Abies lasiocarpa</i> may be present but not abundant. The undergrowth is characterized by the low stratum of <i>Symphoricarpos oreophilus</i> and <i>Rosa woodsii</i>. The herbaceous layer is minor and includes <i>Elymus glaucus, Calamagrostis rubescens</i>, and <i>Carex geyeri</i>. Forbs present may include <i>Arnica cordifolia, Thalictrum fendleri, Osmorhiza berteroi (= Osmorhiza chilensis)</i>, and <i>Geranium viscosissimum</i>.
