This alliance consists of moist limestone outcrops (for instance on sinkhole slopes), dominated and characterized by ~Adiantum tenerum$. This alliance occurs on shaded sinkhole walls and slopes, on exposed weathered limestone. ~Adiantum tenerum$ dominates the herb layer, with scattered individuals of ~Parietaria praetermissa, Arenaria lanuginosa$, and other ferns. Calciphilic mosses, especially ~Anomodon rostratus$, are abundant. The vegetation is shaded by topographic position and by overhanging trees rooted in the adjacent mesic hammock communities. |

This mixed evergreen-deciduous forest alliance has been described on mountain slopes and plateaus in Utah. Sites occur on gentle to steep slopes on all aspects. Soils are derived from alluvium and colluvium. Seral forests included in this alliance are characterized by an open to moderately closed, mixed evergreen-deciduous tree canopy that is codominated by ~Populus tremuloides$ and ~Pinus contorta$. Several other species of conifers may be scattered within the stands, including ~Pseudotsuga menziesii, Abies lasiocarpa, Picea engelmannii, Picea pungens$, and ~Pinus flexilis$. Younger stands typically have dense ~Populus tremuloides$ with ~Pinus contorta$ mixed in. As stands age, ~Populus tremuloides$ cover is slowly reduced until ~Pinus contorta$ becomes dominant. The understory is moderately dense to sparse and becomes sparser as ~Pinus contorta$ becomes more dominant. The short-shrub layer is often dominated by ~Juniperus communis$ or ~Symphoricarpos oreophilus$. Other shrubs may include ~Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, Artemisia tridentata, Mahonia repens, Paxistima myrsinites, Rosa woodsii, Shepherdia canadensis$, and ~Symphoricarpos albus$. Scattered tall shrubs ~Amelanchier alnifolia$ and ~Prunus virginiana$ may be present. The relatively sparse herbaceous layer is a mixture of graminoids and forbs and is often dominated by ~Calamagrostis rubescens, Carex geyeri, Lathyrus lanszwertii$, or ~Thalictrum fendleri$. Other common graminoids include ~Bromus carinatus, Carex rossii, Elymus glaucus, Elymus trachycaulus$, and ~Achnatherum occidentale (= Stipa occidentalis)$. Forbs, such as ~Achillea millefolium, Arnica cordifolia, Balsamorhiza$ spp., ~Fragaria vesca, Geranium$ spp., ~Lupinus argenteus, Osmorhiza berteroi (= Osmorhiza chilensis)$, and ~Potentilla$ spp., may be present. The exotic species ~Poa pratensis$ and ~Taraxacum officinale$ are common in livestock-impacted stands. Diagnostic of this forest alliance is the codominance of ~Pinus contorta$ and~Populus tremuloides$ in the tree canopy. |

Pinus echinata - Quercus prinus Interior Low Plateau Forest

This association represents mixed shortleaf pine - oak forests of the Interior Low Plateau region. This concept includes naturally occurring stands of shortleaf pine at Land Between the Lakes, and possibly other areas of the region. <i>Pinus echinata</i> is the single most important species in this community, although the collective importance of <i>Quercus</i> spp. is greater than that of pine. This community occurs in relatively small patches on ridges and west-facing slopes. More information is needed to document the floristic composition of the understory. |

This mixed evergreen-deciduous forest is documented from the mountains and plateaus of Utah and northern Nevada at montane elevations. Stands are characterized by a moderately dense to dense tree canopy codominated by Populus tremuloides and Abies concolor with Symphoricarpos oreophilus dominating the short-shrub layer. Often the conifers form a subcanopy that will eventually overtake the Populus tremuloides. Adjacent vegetation is usually forests dominated by Abies concolor or Pseudotsuga menziesii. |
