Name: Abies amabilis - Pseudotsuga menziesii / Achlys triphylla Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This Pacific silver fir - Douglas-fir forest of Oregon and Washington has a canopy dominated by <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii, Tsuga heterophylla</i>, and/or <i>Abies amabilis</i>. <i>Abies amabilis</i> has over 10% total cover and dominates or codominates tree regeneration. <i>Abies procera</i> is sometimes prominent. The shrub layer varies from sparse to moderate, and when more developed is dominated by <i>Acer circinatum</i>. <i>Mahonia nervosa</i> and <i>Vaccinium membranaceum</i> are often present. The well-developed herb layer is dominated or codominated by <i>Achlys californica</i> and/or <i>Achlys triphylla</i>. <i>Clintonia uniflora, Cornus unalaschkensis</i>, and <i>Linnaea borealis</i> are usually present. At Mount Rainier and in the eastern and northern Olympics, this association occurs at middle elevations. Sites have deep, well-drained soils and are environmentally moderate. Aspects tend to be southerly. Many natural-origin stands occur on protected lands; however, some non-protected stands are subject to logging and development.
