Name: Phyllodoce empetriformis / Vaccinium deliciosum Alpine Dwarf-shrubland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association is the most common subalpine meadow type in the moist to wet climatic areas (areas not greatly affected by rainshadows). It is generally found on gentle to moderate slopes with well-drained soils, although it has been observed on steep slopes as well. The relatively dense dwarf-shrub vegetation is almost always codominated by <i>Phyllodoce empetriformis</i> and <i>Vaccinium deliciosum</i>. <i>Cassiope mertensiana</i> can be prominent but rarely codominates. Numerous other species can be present, although rarely in abundance. <i>Luetkea pectinata, Polygonum bistortoides</i>, and <i>Carex spectabilis</i> are most frequently present. This association occurs in the Cascade Range and Olympic Mountains.
