Description: This association has only been described from Zion National Park, Utah. Additional global information will be added as it becomes available. At Zion National Park, <i>Populus tremuloides</i> and <i>Abies concolor</i> are prominent in the canopy layer of this association. The shrub layer is not significant, but there may be a presence of <i>Quercus gambelii</i> or <i>Symphoricarpos oreophilus</i>. The herbaceous layer is clearly dominated by <i>Poa pratensis</i> (over 40% cover). Other herbaceous species that are commonly present and contribute minor cover are <i>Lupinus argenteus, Vicia americana, Achillea millefolium</i>, and <i>Tragopogon dubius</i>. This association occurs at elevations above 2133 m (7000 feet) on flat to gently sloping terrain. Soils are somewhat poorly drained clays.
