This association occurs on rocky, steep to very steep (20-65°), relatively dry, north- to northwest-facing slopes. Soils are usually of sedimentary origin, typically shallow, sandy loam, and often on scree covered slopes. According to the literature this association consists of stands of <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> with the low-shrub <i>Paxistima myrsinites</i> as the dominant species (cover 12-24%) in the undergrowth. It is in one of the coolest habitats of ~<i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> Southern Rocky Mountain Forest & Woodland Alliance (A3454)$$ and commonly is found adjacent to the subalpine forest zone. Elevations range from 2425-3024 m (7960-9920 feet). This association tends to be located in the montane zone above <i>Quercus gambelii</i>-dominated communities and elevationally below the range of <i>Picea engelmannii - Abies lasiocarpa</i> habitats. Other tree and shrub species can include <i>Picea engelmannii, Abies lasiocarpa, Populus tremuloides, Quercus gambelii, Amelanchier alnifolia, Symphoricarpos oreophilus, Mahonia repens, Acer glabrum</i>, and <i>Rosa woodsii</i>. The herbaceous layer is typically sparse and can include <i>Arnica cordifolia, Eucephalus engelmannii (= Aster engelmannii), Chamerion angustifolium (= Epilobium angustifolium), Lathyrus lanszwertii var. leucanthus (= Lathyrus leucanthus), Fragaria</i> spp., with the graminoids <i>Carex geyeri</i>, and <i>Bromus porteri (= Bromus anomalus)</i>. |

This montane to lower subalpine forest association is known from the central and northern Rocky Mountains from northwestern Wyoming, to eastern Oregon, Idaho and western Montana, and extending into Canada. Elevations range from 1010to 2470 m (3300-8100 feet). Stands occur on a variety of sites from steep colluvial slopes to gentle rolling terrain on relatively warm, dry sites. Sites at lower elevation and latitude are typically restricted to northerly aspects or limestone substrate. Higher elevation sites occur on a variety of aspects with the most northerly stands restricted to dry southern aspects. Parent materials are various. Soils tend to be coarser-textured, gravelly loam or sandy loam. Tree litter, often 4-6 cm deep, dominates the ground cover. Vegetation is characterized by an overstory tree canopy dominated by <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> with <i>Spiraea betulifolia</i> prominent in the understory. <i>Pinus ponderosa</i> may be codominant in the overstory tree canopy, and <i>Pinus contorta</i> or <i>Populus tremuloides</i> may be present in the subcanopy. <i>Spiraea betulifolia</i> is a major component in the short-shrub layer with <i>Amelanchier alnifolia, Mahonia repens</i>, or <i>Paxistima myrsinites</i> sometimes abundant. Other common shrubs include <i>Acer glabrum, Lonicera utahensis, Prunus virginiana, Salix scouleriana, Shepherdia canadensis, Sorbus scopulina, Symphoricarpos oreophilus</i>, or <i>Symphoricarpos albus</i>. The sparse to moderately dense herbaceous layer may be dominated by graminoids <i>Calamagrostis rubescens, Carex geyeri, Festuca idahoensis</i>, or <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata</i>, with a variety of forbs. |
