Only collected one bag of B. fremontii for elemental analysis because there were no species that could be used anywhere within the vicinity. The plot is sapling P. contorta entirely and is fairly open with a moderately dense shrub layer of P. tridentata and and occasional Ribies sp.. This plot is next to a more thinned slightly older P. contorta stand. The whole area is early successional resulting from logging or possibly fire. The lichen community is dominated by B. fremontii with the usual cohorts of V. canadensis and K. merrillii. Slope 2%. Aspect 70°. Abundance code: 4-5. Substrate: PICO br.
