Name: Abies concolor / Muhlenbergia straminea Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: <i>Abies concolor</i> and <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> are the dominant forest species. <i>Abies concolor</i> may be poorly represented (&lt;5% cover) in the overstory. Both may be present in all age classes; if lacking in larger sizes, they will be well-represented as regeneration. <i>Pinus ponderosa</i> may be present as sparse regeneration and scattered old individuals as well. <i>Pinus strobiformis</i> may be present in smaller age classes. In the understory, shrubs, except for <i>Quercus gambelii</i>, are minor or poorly represented (&lt;5% cover). Both grasses and forbs are prominent in the herbaceous layer. Relative proportions of species vary with ground conditions. This type occurs on ridges down to midslopes, on all aspects, especially south. Elevations range from 2500 to 2800 m (8000-9200 feet) and is known from the White Mountains of Arizona and the Black Range and Mogollon Mountains of New Mexico.
