Description: This productive, tall conifer forest association is typically at found at moist sites, and when in good condition supports old trees and snags. It is known to occur in the Klamath-Siskiyou region of Oregon and possibly in the coastal range of Oregon and in northwestern California. Stands can be found at elevations of 630-1400 m (2060-4600 feet) on all aspects with slopes up to 78%. Parent material is generally alluvium or serpentine. <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> and <i>Abies lowiana</i> dominate the tree layer. <i>Taxus brevifolia</i> and <i>Abies lowiana</i> dominate the tree understory. <i>Mahonia nervosa, Achlys triphylla</i>, and <i>Linnaea borealis ssp. longiflora</i> dominate the forest floor. <i>Rosa gymnocarpa</i> is found in all occurrences at low cover. High cover of moss indicates high moisture.
