Description: This Douglas-fir forest association is found on the Colorado Plateau and Rocky Mountains of Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico. This description is based on information from Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve in Colorado. Additional global information will be added as it becomes available. This association is known from one location, occurring on a mountain flank at 3030 m elevation. Slopes are moderately steep (18°) and northeast-facing. Soils are well-drained sandy loam. The single sample of this association is characterized by a homogeneous dense canopy of <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> (55-65%). The herbaceous understory is sparse, with 15-25% total cover, and includes <i>Bromus ciliatus, Trisetum spicatum</i>, and <i>Piptatherum micranthum</i>.
