Name: Abies concolor / Vaccinium membranaceum Forest
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This association occurs in Oregon's southern Cascades and possibly in California. Occurrences are found at elevation of 915-1525 m (3000-5000 feet) on most aspects except south. Soils are basaltic, andesitic, or pumice/ash. This forest type is typified by uneven-aged stands of conifers with gaps occupied by hardwoods. Stands vary from relatively open to closed-canopy. The tree canopy is dominated by <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> and <i>Abies concolor</i> with average cover of 56%. <i>Vaccinium membranaceum, Mahonia nervosa (= var. nervosa), Paxistima myrsinites</i>, and <i>Chimaphila umbellata</i>, are the most common species of the shrub layer which averages 60% cumulative cover. The herb layer averages cumulative 54% cover and is characterized by <i>Achlys triphylla</i> and <i>Linnaea borealis ssp. longiflora</i>.
