Name: Tsuga mertensiana Montane Alaskan Forest Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This is a forested alliance of open canopy "parklands" dominated by <i>Tsuga mertensiana</i> and ericaceous and alpine shrubs and forbs such as <i>Cassiope mertensiana, Elliottia pyroliflora</i>, and <i>Phyllodoce aleutica</i>. This woodland alliance occurs in cold, snowy subalpine environments from southern Alaska. It occurs from near sea level into the subalpine in Alaska coastal areas, on slope benches or canyon bottoms, which are prone to cold-air drainage. The alliance occurs on a wide variety of soils, including organic muskeg margins. Best growth of <i>Tsuga mertensiana</i> is reported on loose, coarse-textured, well-drained soils.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:38939-{20274772-7018-4D85-A348-DF8BA48F9FD9} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
