Name: Pseudotsuga menziesii - Tsuga heterophylla - Thuja plicata / Chimaphila umbellata / Rhytidiopsis robusta Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This matrix forest community occurs on a variety of mesic to submesic sites with medium to poor soil-nutrient regimes within submaritime and subcontinental areas of southwestern British Columbia at elevations of 0 to 1350 m. It occurs on gentle to steep slopes on all slope positions and all aspects. This coniferous forest plant community has moderately open to closed forest canopies, a poorly developed shrub layer with scattered regenerating conifers and other shrubs, a poorly developed herb layer with scattered forbs, and a moderately well-developed moss layer dominated by feathermosses, particularly <i>Hylocomium splendens</i>. The moderately open to closed canopy is characterized by a high cover of <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> and <i>Tsuga heterophylla</i> with moderate cover of <i>Thuja plicata</i>. The poorly developed shrub layer has low cover of regenerating <i>Thuja plicata</i> and <i>Tsuga heterophylla</i> with low cover of <i>Paxistima myrsinites</i> and <i>Vaccinium membranaceum</i>. The poorly developed herb layer has low cover of <i>Chimaphila umbellata</i> and <i>Linnaea borealis</i> with very low cover of <i>Goodyera oblongifolia, Pyrola asarifolia</i>, and <i>Orthilia secunda</i>. The moderately well-developed moss layer is characterized by high cover of <i>Hylocomium splendens</i> with low to moderate cover of <i>Rhytidiopsis robusta, Pleurozium schreberi</i>, and <i>Rhytidiadelphus triquetrus</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:31730-{7B22EBAB-D56F-420D-84B3-20B2B1427158} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
