Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This is a mesic meadow alliance of mixed forbs dominated by any number of species, most often stands with <i>Lupinus nootkatensis</i> and <i>Castilleja unalaschcensis</i> but also with <i>Achillea millefolium, Senecio triangularis, Streptopus amplexifolius</i>, and other mesic forb species. Grasses and ferns may also be present. It is found on the Alaska peninsula, Aleutian Islands and Kodiak Island, and extends south along the coastal maritime region to southeastern Alaska. It may also occur in British Columbia. This is an herbaceous alliance that occurs as balds and meadows on slopes with a mesic moisture regime, including windswept coastal headlands, coastal bluffs, old beach ridges, hillside slopes, stabilized talus, alluvial fans, rolling hills, alluvial slopes, below subalpine shrublands, and ravine sideslopes. Soils are typically mesic, well-drained, and underlain by colluvium, alluvium, glacial till or residuum.
