Name: Pinus ponderosa / Artemisia tridentata ssp. vaseyana / Poa nervosa Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This woodland is reported from the Fremont National Forest in Oregon. Elevation ranges from 1770 to 2135 m (5800-7000 feet). Aspect is south to northwest. Slope is 1-25% and slope position is the lower to upper one-third. The topography is flat to convex and also ridgetops. Soils are ash over basalt, andesite and loess. <i>Pinus ponderosa</i> is the most common tree, but <i>Juniperus occidentalis</i> is often found. <i>Pinus contorta</i> and <i>Abies lowiana</i> occur occasionally. <i>Artemisia tridentata ssp. vaseyana</i> occurs in all stands and <i>Symphoricarpos albus</i> and <i>Ribes cereum</i> are common. Common herbaceous species include <i>Poa nervosa, Lupinus argenteus, Achillea millefolium, Elymus elymoides, Carex pensylvanica, Festuca idahoensis, Fragaria virginiana</i>, and <i>Hieracium albiflorum</i>. Fire is important in these forests to maintain the open nature of the forest, with scattered large <i>Pinus ponderosa</i> trees and limited shrub cover.
