Description

Mature overstory of aspen with an occasional larch, Douglas-fir, or ponderosa pine possible. Heavy coverage of common snowberry and occasional conifer in the understory. The aspen in this reference state are a stable plant community with conifers not able to overtake the site. This site appears sporadically on the landscape adjacent to the Douglas-fir/Common Snowberry plant association. Any severe disturbance will activate aspen regeneration through root sprouting. Many of these sites can be overgrazed which could affect aspen productivity. Aspen can obtain moderate to good size on this site as compared to the aspen/pinegrass site which is located at higher elevations and less moisture.
