Comm #11293	Abies concolor - Pseudotsuga menziesii / Erigeron eximius Forest » more details accession code: VB.CC.34469.CEGL000247	Western Ecology Working Group of...	0	The association extends from southern Utah and southern Colorado down into Arizona and New Mexico. It is found at elevations from 2652-3049 m (8700-10,000 feet) on gentle draws and slopes (0-50%) with varying aspects and landforms. This type is located mainly on deep soils such as Haploborolls and Dystrochrepts. It occurs on relatively cool and moist sites and on sites protected from extreme sun and wind. In younger stands, <i>Populus tremuloides</i> is the major seral species, with <i>Abies concolor</i> and <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> codominating as the major late-successional species. <i>Picea pungens</i> and <i>Pinus flexilis</i> may be important as minor late-successional and seral species, respectively. At roughly the latitude of central New Mexico and Arizona, <i>Pinus flexilis</i> is replaced by <i>Pinus strobiformis</i> as a late-seral species, especially on drier sites. <i>Picea engelmannii</i> occurs in frost pockets as a minor late-successional species. <i>Pinus ponderosa</i> is accidental or minor as a seral species. Relative to other associations within this series, shrubs are generally less important as they have low cover values. This is an herb-rich association. <i>Artemisia franserioides, Bromus ciliatus (= Bromopsis ciliata), Carex siccata (= Carex foenea), Erigeron eximius, Fragaria</i> ssp., <i>Lathyrus</i> spp., and <i>Oreochrysum parryi</i> characteristically exhibit high cover values.

Comm #11296	Quercus macrocarpa / Corylus americana - Amelanchier alnifolia Woodland » more details accession code: VB.CC.36711.CEGL000556	Midwestern Ecology Working Group...	0	This bur oak community type is found on widely scattered hillsides and ravine slopes in the northeastern Great Plains and possibly into the northern tallgrass prairie region of the United States and Canada, and scattered localities eastward. The tree canopy in this type is made up of <i>Quercus macrocarpa</i>. Less commonly, <i>Fraxinus pennsylvanica</i> and <i>Populus tremuloides</i> are present in the canopy. A layer of short shrubs is present, with <i>Amelanchier alnifolia, Corylus</i> spp., and <i>Symphoricarpos occidentalis</i> prevalent.

Comm #11299	Rhus glabra / Pseudoroegneria spicata Shrub Herbaceous Vegetation » more details accession code: VB.CC.33014.CEGL001122	Western Ecology Working Group of...	0	This association occurs on foot and toeslopes between 435-900 m elevation in southeastern Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Stands are found on southeast- and southwest-facing slopes. This type is most common on talus slopes between 10-75%. The climate is very dry and continental, with hot summers and mild winters. <i>Rhus glabra</i> is the sole to dominant shrub, averaging 35% cover. In late successional stands the <i>Rhus glabra</i> tends to occur as patches with grasses growing in the openings. <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata</i> is the dominant grass in all stands averaging 28% cover. <i>Bromus tectorum</i> is often present, though its cover seldom exceeds 4%. Other grasses and forbs add about an additional 10% to the cover of the herbaceous layer.
Comm #11300	Abies concolor - Pseudotsuga menziesii / Vaccinium myrtillus Forest » more details accession code: VB.CC.34529.CEGL000265	Western Ecology Working Group of...	0	This evergreen forest association ranges from southern Colorado into northern New Mexico. It occurs on steep, cold, northern slopes and draws at elevations below the limit of <i>Abies lasiocarpa</i> and <i>Picea engelmannii</i> dominance, from 2591-2866 m (8500-9400 feet). It is found in cryic soils at the warmest extreme of the cryic soil-temperature regime. Overstories are highly mixed. Stands are composed of <i>Abies concolor</i> and <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> as the major late-successional species, and <i>Abies lasiocarpa, Picea engelmannii</i>, and <i>Picea pungens</i> as minor late-successional species. <i>Populus tremuloides</i> is the major seral species, while <i>Pinus flexilis</i> and <i>Pinus ponderosa</i> occur frequently as minor seral species. <i>Vaccinium myrtillus</i> is conspicuous in the shrub layer and codominates with <i>Acer glabrum, Amelanchier alnifolia, Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, Mahonia repens, Paxistima myrsinites, Rubus parviflorus</i>, and <i>Symphoricarpos oreophilus</i>. <i>Erigeron eximius, Fragaria virginiana ssp. glauca (= Fragaria ovalis)</i>, and <i>Lathyrus</i> spp. are commonly present in the herb layer. Also present, although less frequently, are <i>Artemisia franserioides, Bromus ciliatus</i>, and <i>Oryzopsis asperifolia</i>.
