Name: Abies lowiana / Vaccinium membranaceum Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association occurs in Oregon's southern Cascades and possibly in California. Occurrences are found at elevation of 915-1525 m (3000-5000 feet) on most aspects except south. Soils are basaltic, andesitic, or pumice/ash. This forest type is typified by uneven-aged stands of conifers with gaps occupied by hardwoods. Stands vary from relatively open to closed-canopy. The tree canopy is dominated by <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> and <i>Abies lowiana</i>. <i>Vaccinium membranaceum, Mahonia nervosa, Paxistima myrsinites</i>, and <i>Chimaphila umbellata</i> are the most common species of the shrub layer. The herb layer is characterized by <i>Achlys triphylla</i> and <i>Linnaea borealis ssp. longiflora</i>.
