Engelmann spruce and subalpine fir may be found in upper canyons.

This forest has Engelmann spruce, mountain hemlock, and subalpine fir.

It is bald except for subalpine fir trees that turn into "snow ghosts" after a heavy snowfall.

A small stand of subalpine fir was also recently discovered by Frank Callahan in the wilderness.

The forest islands typically consist of mountain hemlock, subalpine fir, and Alaska cedar.

In the East and other drier areas, the subalpine zone is dominated by subalpine fir.

In the higher boundaries of this ecoregion the Subalpine Fir takes on the krummholz form.

Engelmann Spruce and Subalpine Fir trees are common in this zone.

Higher elevations support subalpine fir.

There are two to three taxa in Subalpine Fir, treated very differently by different authors:

The area is populated with white spruce, subalpine fir, and (at higher elevations) Engelmann spruce trees.

Mountain hemlock often succeeds lodgepole pine or subalpine fir when these species pioneer on drier sites.

The Engelmann Spruce and the Subalpine Fir are commonly found together.

Ponderosa pine can be found growing in canyons, while grand fir and subalpine fir grow at higher elevations.

Patches of Douglas fir, subalpine fir and aspen are common in isolated patches on north facing slopes.

Some Plateau Indian tribes drank or washed in a subalpine fir boil for purification or to make their hair grow.

In subalpine fir forests of central Idaho, ribbed bog moss occurs on seeps and springs that remain moist throughout the fire season.

The forest conifers consist mainly of Subalpine Fir and Douglas Fir.

The forests are dominated by lodgepole pine, whitebark pine, subalpine fir, and Engelmann spruce.

Higher elevations contain whitebark pine, Engelmann spruce, subalpine fir, and limber pine.

There are several stands of conifers that are rare for California, including subalpine fir and Engelmann spruce in the wilderness.

Grand fir, found at elevations between where Douglas-fir and subalpine fir grow, is the only tree species in the region that receives maritime influences.

The north half of the area is composed of stands of mixed spruce, subalpine fir, Douglas fir, and limber pine.

Western tanager was negatively associated with subalpine fir ("A. lasiocarpa") cover in northern Rocky Mountain conifer forests.

Below it is a subalpine zone where lodgepole pine, Englemann spruce, subalpine fir and aspen dominate the forest.

The Corkbark Fir Abies lasiocarpa var.

The two dominant trees in this type of forest are the Picea engelmannii (engelmann spruce) and the Abies lasiocarpa (subalpine fir).

Trees include aspen, Lodgepole Pine, Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii), and subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa).

In the absence of low-level wildfire cycles, whitebark pines in these stands are replaced by more shade-tolerant, fire-intolerant species such as Subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa) and Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii).

Dwarf birch, willow and subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa) are found the subalpine zone below the tree line, while the alpine zone above supports a sparse vegetative cover consisting of mountain avens, dwarf shrubs, forbs, grasses and lichen.

The Rocky Mountains Subalpine Fir is very closely related and of disputed status, being variously treated as a distinct species Abies bifolia, as a variety of Coast Range Subalpine Fir Abies lasiocarpa var.

The Coast Range Subalpine Fir Abies lasiocarpa in the narrow sense, is the typical form of the species, occurring in the Pacific Coast Ranges, the Olympic Mountains and the Cascade Range from southeast Alaska (Panhandle mountains) south to California.
