Name: Populus tremuloides / Symphoricarpos oreophilus Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This deciduous forest association is widespread in the Rocky Mountains and found in mountains of the interior western U.S. Stands occur at montane and subalpine elevations of 2010 to 2960 m (6600-9700 feet) on a variety of intermediately mesic sites, including lower slopes and benches, draws, sheltered slopes, and high benches that range from flat to steep slopes of any aspect. Northern to eastern aspects are common in the drier and warmer environments such as the southern portions of its range. Soils are generally well-developed, well-drained loams or sandy loams. Vegetation is characterized by a moderately dense to dense tree canopy of <i>Populus tremuloides</i> with a short-shrub layer that is dominated by <i>Symphoricarpos oreophilus</i>. Occasional conifer trees are possible in the stand but do not make up more than 25% of the tree canopy.
