Name: Acer grandidentatum / Quercus gambelii Forest Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This forest association has been reported from mountains and plateaus of Utah. Elevations range from 1220-2620 m. Sites include moderate to steep, middle and lower slopes with cool northern or eastern aspects, intermittently flooded canyon bottoms, alluvial benches, and shaded colluvial slopes. <i>Acer grandidentatum</i> and <i>Quercus gambelii</i> codominate the tree canopy. The understory is variable and may be dominated by tall or short shrubs. Species include <i>Prunus virginiana, Rosa woodsii, Symphoricarpos oreophilus, Physocarpus malvaceus, Mahonia repens</i>, and seedling trees. The herbaceous layer is generally sparse because of heavy shading. Stands transition to <i>Quercus gambelii</i> woodland in the drier uplands.  Accession Code: VB.CC.34588.CEGL000559 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
