Name: Pseudotsuga menziesii - Abies grandis / Acer circinatum / Polystichum munitum Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: The canopy is dominated by <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> with <i>Abies grandis</i> or <i>Acer macrophyllum</i> in the canopy; little or no <i>Tsuga heterophylla</i> or <i>Thuja plicata</i> is present. A generally dense tall-shrub layer of <i>Acer circinatum</i> with <i>Corylus cornuta</i> appears with a diverse understory of shorter shrubs, <i>Mahonia nervosa, Rosa gymnocarpa</i>, and herbaceous species. <i>Polystichum munitum</i> always occurs and is typically over 5% cover. This lowland and montane foothill forest association is known to occur in the Olympic Mountains, in the southern end of the Puget Lowland in Washington, and in northwestern Oregon. It occurs on gentle to moderately steep, generally northerly aspects in Oregon.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:34381-{C29F83A8-36A7-431C-83CB-5DE195442AAB} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
