This community occurs in the Klamath-Siskiyou and southern Cascades regions of Oregon and may also occur in northwestern California. Site can be found on all slopes less than 60% on northern aspects at elevations of 1770-2040 m (5800-6680 feet). Soils are not well documented, but are probably moderately deep (1 m) with texture of sandy loam or loamy sand. The tree canopy is dominated by <i>Abies x shastensis</i> with average cover of 55%. <i>Abies concolor</i> is occasionally present and averages 6% cover. Important understory components are <i>Polemonium pulcherrimum</i> (3%) and <i>Moehringia macrophylla (= Arenaria macrophylla)</i> (2%).
