Name: Pseudotsuga menziesii - Abies lowiana / Gaultheria shallon Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: These forests occur mostly on the west side of the southern Oregon Cascades, but may also occur in California. Sites occur between 760-1520 m (2500-5000 feet) elevation on moderate slopes on all aspects. Most examples of this giant, low- to mid-elevation mixed-conifer forest association usually represent second- or third-growth logged forest stands. Old remnants are extremely rare. The tree canopy is codominated by <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii, Calocedrus decurrens, Pinus lambertiana</i>, and <i>Abies lowiana</i>. Shrub cover in most stands is very dense. <i>Mahonia nervosa, Symphoricarpos mollis, Gaultheria shallon, Rosa gymnocarpa</i>, and <i>Rhododendron macrophyllum</i> are common shrubs. Common herbs include <i>Achlys triphylla, Linnaea borealis ssp. longiflora, Goodyera oblongifolia, Anemone deltoidea</i>, and <i>Synthyris reniformis</i>. Grass cover is very low.
