Name: Abies lasiocarpa - Picea engelmannii / Actaea rubra Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This is a moist but well-drained forested association located primarily on north-facing toeslopes, lower and midslopes, near riparian areas and sideslope seepages. It is documented from Idaho, northern Utah, western Wyoming, and Montana. It may occur as a relict in Arizona, but it has not been documented there. This association is found at elevations from 1829 to 3201 m (6000-10,500 feet). Soils are deep and moist. The vegetation is dominated by <i>Abies lasiocarpa</i> and/or <i>Picea engelmannii</i>. <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> and <i>Populus tremuloides</i> are often present. <i>Picea pungens</i> may also co-occur. Stands are typically shrubby (with 5-15% total cover), but no shrub species are consistently present. Common shrub species include <i>Amelanchier, Lonicera, Acer glabrum, Rubus parviflorus, Prunus virginiana</i>, and <i>Symphoricarpos oreophilus</i>. The herbaceous undergrowth is clearly dominated by lush forbs; <i>Actaea rubra</i> is almost always present and abundant, often in small clumps scattered throughout the stand. Other forbs typically present are <i>Arnica cordifolia, Galium triflorum, Osmorhiza berteroi, Aconitum columbianum, Equisetum arvense, Geranium richardsonii, Senecio triangularis, Streptopus amplexifolius</i>, and <i>Thalictrum fendleri</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:29204-{1ED0F224-D256-4F51-B679-66D273ADFB87} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
