It had been found at elevations ranging from 1737-2040 m, where it occurs on calcareous, loamy soils on moderate slopes. The overstory is dominated by successfully reproducing <i>Picea glauca</i> with some mature <i>Populus tremuloides</i> and <i>Pinus ponderosa</i> remaining from earlier seral stages. The shrub layer is the most conspicuous understory layer. It is often dominated by <i>Vaccinium scoparium</i>. In some stands other shrubs may be more abundant, with only scattered <i>Vaccinium scoparium</i>. Other shrubs that are typically found are <i>Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, Juniperus communis, Mahonia repens, Spiraea betulifolia</i>, and <i>Symphoricarpos albus</i>. Major herbaceous species are <i>Achillea millefolium, Galium boreale, Fragaria virginiana, Lathyrus ochroleucus</i>, and <i>Oryzopsis asperifolia</i>.
