Name: Abies lasiocarpa / Jamesia americana Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This high-elevation forest is dominated by <i>Abies lasiocarpa</i>. <i>Picea engelmannii</i> is not present. <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> and <i>Populus tremuloides</i> are major serial species in the forest canopy. <i>Abies concolor</i> may be a minor serial species. Shrub cover is high, dominated by <i>Jamesia americana</i> (diagnostic) with <i>Ribes pinetorum, Rubus idaeus, Sambucus racemosa var. melanocarpa</i>, and <i>Symphoricarpos oreophilus</i>. Herbaceous cover is sparse and patchy, with graminoids essentially absent and forb diversity low. <i>Vicia americana</i> is most common with traces of <i>Aquilegia</i> spp., <i>Galium</i> spp., <i>Pteridium aquilinum, Orthilia secunda, Senecio</i> spp., <i>Viola canadensis</i>, and <i>Woodsia</i> spp. This association is restricted to cold-mesic, steep, talus northern slopes near the summit of Mount Lemmon in the Santa Catalina Mountains in southeastern Arizona.
