Name: Pinus ponderosa - Quercus garryana / Carex geyeri Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This is a mixed conifer - deciduous broad-leaved woodland association confined to the eastern Cascades foothills near the Columbia River gorge. These sites are generally found along lower treeline on slopes or ridgetops between 520 and 945 m (1700-3100 feet) elevation. The existing vegetation is characterized by a tall <i>Pinus ponderosa</i> layer over a shorter <i>Quercus garryana</i> layer. The tree canopy is mostly open and only rarely approaches being a closed stand. <i>Quercus garryana</i> may form clones that are 'closed patches' within a stand. <i>Quercus garryana</i> may dominate a shrub layer which usually has few shrub species. The herbaceous layer is patchy and dominated by graminoids, primarily <i>Carex geyeri</i> with <i>Festuca idahoensis</i> or <i>Bromus tectorum</i>.
