Name: Pinus ponderosa / Purshia tridentata / Carex inops ssp. inops Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This forest is endemic to the eastern Cascades of central Oregon. It is found on a narrow elevational belt between 1500-1800 m (4900-5900 feet) on level slopes (1-10%) of all aspects. Soils are loamy coarse sand to sandy loams which are well-drained. It is possible that it occurs in deep, recent pumice outcrops in northern California, but it has not been documented there. <i>Pinus ponderosa</i> and <i>Pinus contorta</i> partially shade an understory of <i>Purshia tridentata, Achnatherum occidentale ssp. occidentale</i>, and the diagnostic species <i>Carex inops ssp. inops</i>. Other plants which may be present include <i>Arctostaphylos patula, Ceanothus velutinus, Carex rossii, Elymus elymoides ssp. elymoides, Achillea millefolium, Eriogonum umbellatum</i>, and <i>Machaeranthera canescens</i>. This association is well-adapted to periodic fires.
