Name: Pseudotsuga menziesii - Tsuga heterophylla / Polystichum munitum - Oxalis oregana Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This Douglas-fir - western hemlock forest of Washington, Oregon and California has a canopy typically codominated by <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> and <i>Tsuga heterophylla</i>. <i>Tsuga heterophylla</i> dominates tree regeneration. The shrub layer is rather sparse to moderate. <i>Acer circinatum</i> often forms a prominent tall-shrub layer. <i>Mahonia nervosa</i> and <i>Vaccinium parvifolium</i> are usually present and occasionally prominent. The well-developed herb layer is codominated by <i>Polystichum munitum</i> and <i>Oxalis oregana</i>. This association occurs at low elevation on lower slopes or valley bottoms with moist but well-drained soils.
