Name: Abies concolor - Pseudotsuga menziesii / Erigeron eximius Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: The association extends from southern Utah and southern Colorado down into Arizona and New Mexico. It is found at elevations from 2652-3049 m (8700-10,000 feet) on gentle draws and slopes (0-50%) with varying aspects and landforms. This type is located mainly on deep soils such as Haploborolls and Dystrochrepts. It occurs on relatively cool and moist sites and on sites protected from extreme sun and wind. In younger stands, <i>Populus tremuloides</i> is the major seral species, with <i>Abies concolor</i> and <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> codominating as the major late-successional species. <i>Picea pungens</i> and <i>Pinus flexilis</i> may be important as minor late-successional and seral species, respectively. At roughly the latitude of central New Mexico and Arizona, <i>Pinus flexilis</i> is replaced by <i>Pinus strobiformis</i> as a late-seral species, especially on drier sites. <i>Picea engelmannii</i> occurs in frost pockets as a minor late-successional species. <i>Pinus ponderosa</i> is accidental or minor as a seral species. Relative to other associations within this series, shrubs are generally less important as they have low cover values. This is an herb-rich association. <i>Artemisia franserioides, Bromus ciliatus, Carex siccata, Erigeron eximius, Fragaria</i> ssp., <i>Lathyrus</i> spp., and <i>Oreochrysum parryi</i> characteristically exhibit high cover values.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:29156-{2FF03411-D436-48E3-B050-4D7F721D3A29} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
