Name: Abies concolor / Juglans major Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This is a montane forested riparian association found in higher elevation drainages along the Mogollon Rim and in the Sierra Ancha of the central highlands of Arizona across to the Mogollon Mountains of southwestern New Mexico, and also in the Sacramento Mountains of south-central New Mexico. It likely occurs in adjacent Mexico. Elevations range from 1950-2440 m (6400-8000 feet), and sites are typically found adjacent to streams on river terraces, or on immediate sideslopes. Soils are usually alluvial Aquents and tend to be silty in a matrix of boulders and rocks. The overstory is characterized by the dominance of <i>Abies concolor</i>, with <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> and <i>Pinus ponderosa</i> as possible minor associates. There is a diverse subcanopy composed of a mixture of <i>Acer negundo, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Juglans major</i>, or <i>Quercus gambelii</i>. The shrub layer is minor; <i>Mahonia repens</i> is the most common shrub species present. The herb stratum is luxuriant with <i>Fragaria virginiana ssp. glauca, Galium mexicanum ssp. asperrimum, Geranium richardsonii, Lathyrus lanszwertii var. leucanthus, Osmorhiza depauperata, Thalictrum fendleri, Monarda fistulosa var. menthifolia</i>, and <i>Viola canadensis</i> present and usually common.
