Description: This forest association has been reported from mountains and plateaus of Utah. Elevations range from 1220-2620 m. Sites include moderate to steep, middle and lower slopes with cool northern or eastern aspects, intermittently flooded canyon bottoms, alluvial benches, and shaded colluvial slopes. <i>Acer grandidentatum</i> and <i>Quercus gambelii</i> codominate the tree canopy. The understory is variable and may be dominated by tall or short shrubs. Species include <i>Prunus virginiana, Rosa woodsii, Symphoricarpos oreophilus, Physocarpus malvaceus, Mahonia repens</i>, and seedling trees.
