Name: Sequoiadendron giganteum - Pinus lambertiana / Cornus nuttallii Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This forest association is currently only known from Yosemite National Park in California, and the following description is based on occurrences there. Additional information will be added as it becomes available. This association is found in mid-slope positions on somewhat poorly drained clay loam and loam soils derived from granite. Elevations range from 1675-2290 m (5500-7500 feet), and aspects are variable. Litter/duff cover averages 85%. Sites are upland. The tree layer (over 50 m tall) averages 40% cover and is composed of <i>Sequoiadendron giganteum</i> and <i>Pinus lambertiana</i>. The tree layer between 10-50 m is composed of <i>Abies lowiana, Pinus lambertiana</i>, and <i>Cornus nuttallii</i>, averaging a total of 50% cover. <i>Cornus nuttallii</i> provides an average 25% cover in the shrub layer (1-5 m), while <i>Corylus cornuta var. californica</i> provides an average of 9% cover. The herb layer varies from 20-80% cover and averages 50%; <i>Adenocaulon bicolor</i> and <i>Galium triflorum</i> provide most of the cover in this layer. Other species in the herb layer include <i>Asyneuma prenanthoides</i> and <i>Cornus nuttallii</i>. Moss cover averages less than 5%.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:36655-{2D49129C-ACEB-4C8D-9D94-45C234CEA644} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 2
