click to update datacart
Name: Picea sitchensis / Maianthemum dilatatum Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association is reported from Alaska and Washington. <i>Picea sitchensis</i> dominates the canopy. <i>Tsuga heterophylla</i> and <i>Thuja plicata</i> are occasionally present. A shrub layer is typically absent to very sparse. <i>Maianthemum dilatatum</i> dominates the well-developed herb layer with <i>Blechnum spicant</i> and <i>Polystichum munitum</i> often present. Mosses can be a prominent ground cover. This forested association occurs on well-drained upland sites on the western coastal plain within the immediate salt spray zone. Sites are relatively flat and adjacent to the top of coastal cliffs. This type also occurs on sand and gravel substrates in the lee of thickets of young trees and driftwood piles adjacent to beaches. This association occurs as small patches within a very limited distribution (within 20 km of the coastline).  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:34284-{463C663B-FCCB-461B-94C8-7836EABA685B} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
