Comm #7095	Quercus garryana / Symphoricarpos albus / Carex inops Woodland » more details accession code: VB.CC.32661.CEGL003358	Western Ecology Working Group of...	0	This woodland association occurs in the Puget Lowland of western Washington and the Georgia Basin of southwestern British Columbia at low elevations. Sites occupied are relatively dry and range from deep, gravelly glacial outwash plains to soils that are shallow to bedrock. In pre-European settlement times, this association was probably strongly influenced by anthropogenic fires, and sites occupied today may have had a very different species composition in the past. Fires helped maintain the dominance of oak over conifers, but also probably kept the shrub layer from dominating the understory on the sites where the type now exists. This deciduous broad-leaved woodland or forest is dominated by <i>Quercus garryana</i> and frequently has significant amounts of the evergreen conifer <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> (mean 8% cover when present) in the canopy or subcanopy. The understory is dominated by deciduous shrubs, mostly <i>Symphoricarpos albus</i> 0.5-1.0 m tall (mean 44% cover), with significant amounts of the taller <i>Amelanchier alnifolia, Oemleria cerasiformis</i>, or <i>Holodiscus discolor</i> often present. The graminoids <i>Carex inops, Poa pratensis</i> (exotic), <i>Melica subulata</i>, and <i>Elymus glaucus</i> are usually present in small to moderate amounts, with <i>Carex</i> more common in the south and <i>Melica</i> more common in the north. Other understory species often present include the short-shrubs <i>Mahonia aquifolium</i> and <i>Rubus ursinus</i>, and the forbs <i>Galium aparine</i> and <i>Lathyrus nevadensis</i>. Many other forbs occur less frequently. This association is distinguished from similar ones by >10% cover of <i>Symphoricarpos albus</i>, along with >1% cover of <i>Elymus glaucus</i> or <i>Carex inops</i>, combined cover of <1% for <i>Polystichum munitum, Circaea alpina, Maianthemum stellatum</i>, and <i>Claytonia sibirica</i>, and <25% cover of <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i>.
Comm #7096	Kalmia microphylla - Ledum groenlandicum / Xerophyllum tenax Shrubland » more details accession code: VB.CC.32140.CEGL003359	Western Ecology Working Group of...	0	This association is found only on the southeastern and western Olympic Peninsula of Washington, at low elevations. It is found only in drier portions of bogs, and may be associated with past fires set primarily by Native Americans. It is seasonally saturated or flooded and then dry in the summer. There is a relatively thin veneer of heath, fibrous, and sphagnum peat over mineral soil. The open shrub layer (0.6-1.3 m tall) is dominated by the evergreen broad-leaved <i>Kalmia microphylla (= Kalmia occidentalis)</i> and <i>Ledum groenlandicum</i>. <i>Gaultheria shallon</i> is always present, typically subdominant. The herb layer is dominated by <i>Xerophyllum tenax</i>, with the fern <i>Pteridium aquilinum</i> sometimes codominant. Small amounts of <i>Sphagnum</i> spp. are usually present (&lt;3% cover). The association is distinguished by the codominance of <i>Xerophyllum tenax</i> and <i>Kalmia microphylla</i> or <i>Ledum groenlandicum</i>.
Comm #7097	Pinus ponderosa / Arctostaphylos uva-ursi Woodland » more details accession code: VB.CC.27882.PINUSPONDEROSAA	Midwestern Ecology Working Group...	0	This ponderosa pine / kinikinnick woodland community is found in the Black Hills region and Rocky Mountain Front Range. Stands occur on flat to gently sloping terrain with sandy loam and clay loam soil. The slopes generally face north, although other directions are also found. This community is dominated by a single tree species, Pinus ponderosa, but may have seedlings and a few saplings of Populus tremuloides and Quercus macrocarpa. In northern New Mexico and southern Colorado Pseudotsuga menziesii may also be present. Shrubs are a prominent feature of this community, especially Arctostaphylos uva-ursi. Symphoricarpos albus, Spiraea betulifolia, and Juniperus communis are scattered throughout this type. The herbaceous stratum is less dense and may include species such as Achillea millefolium, Lathyrus ochroleucus, and Oryzopsis asperifolia.

Comm #7100	A.1951 » more details accession code: VB.CC.1653.A1951	EcoArt 2002	0	Lowland pine vegetation very rich in endemics, with a closed canopy strongly dominated by ~Pinus cubensis$, on deep, acidic ferritic soils.
