Name: Abies grandis - Thuja plicata / Achlys triphylla Forest
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This is a conifer forest association with a rich forb undergrowth. It is located near stream bottoms in the eastern Cascades near the Columbia River gorge. These sites are generally found between 730 and 1010 m (2400-3300 feet) and sites are generally free of prolonged snow accumulation. The existing vegetation is characterized by <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> and <i>Abies grandis</i> trees codominating the tree canopy, with <i>Thuja plicata</i> also frequent in the canopy and in regeneration layers. The shrub layer is fairly sparse with patches of tall <i>Acer circinatum</i> and shorter <i>Rosa gymnocarpa, Mahonia nervosa</i> and <i>Symphoricarpos mollis</i>. The herbaceous layer is patchy with <i>Trientalis borealis ssp. latifolia (= Trientalis latifolia), Achlys triphylla</i> and other moist forest forbs.
