Name: Abies lowiana - Calocedrus decurrens - Pinus lambertiana / Cornus nuttallii / Corylus cornuta var. californica 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 between 1770 and 1890 m (5800-6200 feet) on moderate to somewhat steep slopes, primarily on northern, northwestern, and western aspects. Soils are loamy sands of granitic origin. In Yosemite NP, this is usually a mesic and dense forest with the tree layer composed of greater than 10% cover each of <i>Abies lowiana, Calocedrus decurrens</i>, and <i>Pinus lambertiana</i> with an understory cover predominantly composed of <i>Cornus nuttallii</i> and <i>Corylus cornuta</i>, averaging 5% each. Information suggests that herb cover is sparse, but <i>Adenocaulon bicolor</i> is present in at least some of the stands.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:36716-{FD320AE5-92E0-42B5-8FCB-98D4D31DEDD6} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
