Name: Cercocarpus ledifolius / Holodiscus dumosus Woodland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This association is described from stands located on the slopes of Germer Peak, Idaho, within the Challis Volcanics ecoregional section, within an area known as the Challis Endemics region, (an area of high plant species endemism). This plant association occurs on quartzite cliffs around Germer Peak, at elevations from 2075 to 2320 m (6800-7600 feet). No other information is available, but it can be assumed that slopes are steep, and sites are rocky. Soils are probably poorly developed, shallow, and coarse-textured (loamy sands to sandy loams). Little information is available regarding the structure and composition of this association. <i>Cercocarpus ledifolius</i> forms an open, low-density, woodland canopy. <i>Holodiscus dumosus</i> forms a dense understory shrub canopy.
