Name: Luetkea pectinata - Saxifraga tolmiei Alpine Meadow
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association occurs in the subalpine parkland of the Cascade Range and Olympic Mountains. Sites range from north- to west-facing moderate to steep slopes with well-drained soils to gentle slopes and flats with somewhat poorly soils. Rocks 11-70 cm (4.3-27.5 inches) in size frequently compose the substrate in the Olympics. This open to sparse, short vegetation, typically 15 cm (6 inches) tall, is dominated or codominated by the semi-shrub <i>Luetkea pectinata</i> (average cover 19%). <i>Luetkea</i> is always the most abundant species. Many herbaceous species can occur, all typically with low cover. <i>Luzula piperi, Hieracium gracile, Juncus parryi</i>, and <i>Carex spectabilis</i> are most frequent species in the Olympics. This vegetation appears to occur on recently colonized sites.
