Name: Abies magnifica var. shastensis / Carex inops ssp. inops Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This is a productive, mostly closed-canopy subalpine or montane forest. It is documented in the Southern Cascades of Oregon and exists on all aspects and slopes 5-30% at elevations of 1740-2040 m (5700-6700 feet). Parent materials are andesite and basalt under loamy soils with many rocks. The tree canopy is dominated by <i>Abies magnifica var. shastensis</i>. There may be trace amounts of <i>Pinus monticola</i> and <i>Tsuga mertensiana</i>. A sparse understory is typified by <i>Carex inops ssp. inops</i> and <i>Chimaphila umbellata</i> except in open stands where a shrub-form of <i>Chrysolepis chrysophylla</i> may dominate, especially at disturbed sites. This association is similar to ~<i>Abies magnifica var. shastensis / Vaccinium membranaceum / Chimaphila umbellata</i> Forest (CEGL000037)$$ except for the absence of <i>Vaccinium</i> spp.
