Name: Populus tremuloides / Symphoricarpos oreophilus / Tall Forbs Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This deciduous forest association is widespread in the Intermountain region on the western U.S. It is found at montane and subalpine elevations from 1890 to 2960 m (6200-9700 feet) across its latitudinal range. Sites include lower slopes and benches, draws, sheltered slopes, and high benches that range from flat to moderate slopes of any aspect. Northern to eastern aspects are common in the drier and warmer environments in the southern portions of its range. Soils are variable but include loams or sandy loams that are often derived from sandstone parent material. The vegetation is characterized by a moderately dense to dense tree canopy of <i>Populus tremuloides</i> with a short-shrub layer with at least 10% cover that is dominated by <i>Symphoricarpos oreophilus</i>. The herbaceous layer present with at least 10% cover is dominated by tall forbs such as <i>Agastache urticifolia, Eucephalus engelmannii, Hackelia floribunda, Mertensia arizonica, Osmorhiza occidentalis, Senecio serra</i>, and <i>Valeriana occidentalis</i>. Occasional conifer trees are possible in a stand but do not make up more than 10% of the tree canopy.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:29524-{503BD384-DBEC-4BDD-9882-D367B677B52D} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 4
