Name: Vaccinium cespitosum / Carex filifolia Dwarf-shrubland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This dwarf-shrubland 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. Stands are found at high elevations (2775-3020 m [9100-9900 feet]) on moist sites. This association is found on soils with textures ranging from loam to silt loam that are moderately well-drained to somewhat poorly drained. Litter cover can be high (58-80% cover). Stands of this dwarf-shrubland form an intermittent shrub layer dominated by <i>Vaccinium cespitosum</i> and an open herb layer characterized by <i>Carex filifolia</i>. <i>Vaccinium cespitosum, Antennaria rosea, Solidago multiradiata, Castilleja lemmonii, Oreostemma alpigenum var. alpigenum</i>, and <i>Carex exserta</i> are often present but contribute to minor cover. A variety of other species are occasionally found contributing to minor cover in this association including <i>Poa stebbinsii, Calamagrostis breweri, Botrychium simplex, Carex rossii, Danthonia intermedia, Danthonia unispicata, Luzula congesta, Pedicularis attollens, Ptilagrostis kingii</i>, and <i>Saxifraga aprica</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:36694-{7D63E4C0-82BE-4B7B-BF4E-C37F172B727D} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 2
