Name: Arctostaphylos uva-ursi Cascadian Alpine Dwarf-shrubland Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: <i>Arctostaphylos uva-ursi</i> is typically the sole dominant, which inhibits the growth of other species, although <i>Empetrum nigrum</i>, another ericaceous shrub, may codominate stands. Forbs contribute little cover, although the sedge <i>Carex spectabilis</i> may codominate some sites in the western northern Cascades. This dwarf-shrubland alliance occurs infrequently in the northern Cascade Range of Washington. These communities occur at elevations ranging from 1750-2250 m on southern aspects.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:39296-{B802727C-8081-46F4-B51B-F56E4B23D432} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
