Name: Pinus monticola / Clintonia uniflora Forest
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This is a mid-seral evergreen conifer forest that once was a major forest component in the mid elevations of the northern Rocky Mountains of Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. This is described to include all <i>Pinus monticola</i> stands in the <i>Tsuga heterophylla, Thuja plicata, Abies grandis</i>, and warm <i>Abies lasiocarpa</i> series of the inland northwest. The forest canopy is dominated by <i>Pinus monticola</i> with a wide variety of sometimes codominant trees such as <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii, Abies grandis, Larix occidentalis</i>. The understory can be a mixture of deciduous shrubs, such as, <i>Acer glabrum</i> and/or mesic site forbs <i>Aralia nudicaulis, Asarum caudatum</i>, and <i>Clintonia uniflora</i>. Collectively this can be referred as the <i>Paxistima myrsinites</i> Union <i>sensu</i> Daubenmire.
