Name: Pinus ponderosa / Symphoricarpos oreophilus Forest Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This ponderosa pine forest occurs within the Seven Devils and western Boise mountains in Idaho, the Aquarius and Paunsaugunt plateaus and Abajo Mountains in Utah, and in Oregon. The association occurs in small, localized patches. In the northern portion of the range, it occurs on south-facing ridgetop and upper-slope positions at approximately 1525 m (5000 feet) elevation. In the south, the association occurs on gentle to moderate midslopes, facing all aspects, at elevations ranging from 2400-2680 m (7900-8800 feet). <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> forests are adjacent on more mesic sites. Stands are characterized by an open to closed overstory dominated by <i>Pinus ponderosa</i>. <i>Symphoricarpos oreophilus, Purshia tridentata</i>, and <i>Amelanchier alnifolia</i> are common associates of the conspicuous understory shrub layer.  Accession Code: VB.CC.33109.CEGL000205 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
