Name: Populus tremuloides - Pinus flexilis Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This mixed deciduous-and-evergreen woodland occurs on mountain slopes from western Wyoming south to southern Utah and west to eastern Nevada. Stands generally grow on fairly steep, south-facing slopes with a variety of geologic substrates, at altitudes above 2650 m (8700 feet). <i>Populus tremuloides</i> dominates the tree overstory, and <i>Pinus flexilis</i> contributes substantial cover. Other conifers may be present, but <i>Pinus flexilis</i> clearly contributes more cover. The composition of the undergrowth varies widely among stands, and no species is present in all stands. The large amount of <i>Pinus flexilis</i> in the overstory, relative to other conifers, sets this association apart from other <i>Populus tremuloides</i> - conifer associations.
