I'm about ready to call this a new type. I've been working in this landscape for a month and I'm closing in on the conclusion: This is a Douglas fir-oak type. Pine-oak types are probably the best well known, but Steinhoff (1978) also identifies pinyon-juniper-oak, serviceberry-oak, and pure oak. I'm paraphrasing of course, but little, if anything, has been said about the Douglas fir-oak type. Well, here it is. I know, I know, there is a fair amount of aspen in the picture . . . but the rest of it is oak . . . I swear.
