Name: Larix lyallii / Vaccinium deliciosum Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: In the high Cascades of Washington, from the Stuart Range north, this association occurs mostly between the upper Chelan drainage to Mount Stuart. This may best be described as a parkland landscape often located near wetlands. It has a very open tree canopy usually with less than 25% cover. <i>Larix lyallii</i> is always present and often accompanied by <i>Abies lasiocarpa, Picea engelmannii, Pinus albicaulis</i>, or <i>Tsuga mertensiana</i>. Dwarf-shrubs dominate the ground cover, typically with less than 50% total cover. <i>Vaccinium deliciosum</i> and <i>Cassiope mertensiana</i> are always present, often with <i>Phyllodoce empetriformis, Luetkea pectinata</i>, or <i>Vaccinium scoparium</i>. Graminoids, such as <i>Luzula glabrata var. hitchcockii, Carex nigricans</i>, or <i>Vahlodea atropurpurea</i>, commonly appear among the short shrubs.
