Name: Abies concolor - Pinus lambertiana - Calocedrus decurrens / Symphoricarpos mollis / Kelloggia galioides Forest Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This forest association is currently only known from Yosemite National Park in California, and the following description is based on occurrences there. Additional information will be added as it becomes available. This association is found at mid elevations (3800-6300 feet) on gentle, upper to midslopes of varied aspects. Soils are moderately deep to deep, from granitic or volcanic parent material. Stand size is variable but often occupies large areas in the landscape. At Yosemite, stands are found at low to mid elevations (1400-2040 m [4600-6700 feet]) on gentle to steep (1-32°) slopes. Aspect varies (northeast to northwest) but is often northwestern. Parent material is typically granitic and sites are somewhat rocky. Fire evidence is common at these sites. Disturbance levels are usually low. This association forms a dense overstory dominated by <i>Abies concolor</i>. <i>Pinus lambertiana</i> and <i>Calocedrus decurrens</i> are consistent minor associates. <i>Pinus ponderosa</i> and <i>Pinus jeffreyi</i> are often present in varying amounts. <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> and <i>Quercus kelloggii</i> are occasionally present. The usually sparse understory shrub layer is scattered with <i>Symphoricarpos mollis</i>. <i>Kelloggia galioides</i> and <i>Hieracium albiflorum</i> are present in low amounts.  Accession Code: VB.CC.34267.CEGL008676 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
