Name: Quercus garryana / Carex geyeri Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This is a deciduous woodland association found along lower treeline in the eastern Cascades near the Columbia River gorge. These sites are generally found on slopes or ridgetops between 610 and 945 m (2000-3100 feet) elevation. The existing vegetation is characterized by an open <i>Quercus garryana</i> layer occasionally with scattered individual <i>Pinus ponderosa</i> or <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> trees. The tree canopy is mostly open and only rarely approaches being a closed stand where clones of <i>Quercus garryana</i> merge. <i>Ceanothus velutinus</i> and/or <i>Amelanchier alnifolia</i> may form a sparse shrub layer with only a few other shrub species. The herbaceous layer is patchy and graminoid-dominated primarily by <i>Carex geyeri</i> and <i>Calamagrostis rubescens</i>.
