Name: Populus tremuloides / Monardella odoratissima Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This forest association is known from the Sierra Nevada ranging throughout the southern and eastern portions of the range. It is particularly common on the east side north of Bridgeport. This association is typically located on middle and lower slopes. Slopes are gentle (&lt;25% slope), often on southwest or southeast exposures. Stands usually have low rock cover; moderately high to high solar radiation; deep, essentially well-drained soils of loam to clay texture; and soils derived from volcanic, granitic, and mixed parent materials. Elevations range from 2110-2775 m (6920-9100 feet). This association is usually a mixed hardwood type with both <i>Populus tremuloides</i> and various conifers, such as <i>Abies magnifica</i> and <i>Pinus contorta</i>, comprising the canopy and averaging between 33 and 85% cover. Total vegetation cover is high (70-100%) from resulting high cover of the tree, shrub and herbaceous layers. Shrubs include <i>Symphoricarpos mollis, Artemisia tridentata</i>, and <i>Symphoricarpos rotundifolius</i>. Forbs and grasses are common and include <i>Monardella odoratissima, Elymus elymoides, Wyethia mollis, Thalictrum fendleri, Bromus marginatus</i>, and <i>Poa bolanderi</i>.
