Name: Abies concolor - Pinus monticola / Ribes viscosissimum Forest
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This association is only known from the Warner Mountains of south-central Oregon and northeastern California. It is found on the mid and upper northerly slopes of moderate (10-30%) steepness. Elevations are between 1980 and 2260 m (6500-7400 feet). Soils are typically rocky loams over basalt or rhyolite parent material. <i>Abies concolor</i> is usually dominant, but <i>Pinus monticola</i> and <i>Pinus ponderosa</i> are also important in contributing to a mostly closed tree canopy. <i>Ribes viscosissimum</i> is common on most sites, but is occasionally absent. Common understory herbs are <i>Hieracium albiflorum, Poa wheeleri</i>, and <i>Carex inops ssp. heliophila</i>. After fires, <i>Pinus monticola</i> regenerates well, especially at higher elevations.
