HABITAT TYPES AND PLANT COMMUNITIES : 
Utah honeysuckle is an understory component of mature forests [69].  It
is a major or minor shrub component, depending on the phase, in grand
fir/Rocky Mountain maple (Abies grandis/Acer glabrum) habitat types in
central Idaho [71].  It may be codominant in the shrub layer at
mid-elevations with grouse whortleberry (Vaccinium scoparium) in
subalpine fir/common beargrass (Abies lasiocarpa/Xerophyllum tenax)
habitat types in Idaho [69].  At low to mid-elevations, Utah honeysuckle
is present in cool lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) and Douglas-fir
(Pseudotsuga menziesii) habitat types.  At higher elevations it occurs
in dry to moist, warm and cold Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii),
grand fir, western redcedar (Thuja plicata), and subalpine fir habitat
type series [4,11,18,29,49].

Utah honeysuckle is listed as a dominant, codominant, or minor
understory species in habitat types described in the following
publications:

(1)  Forest habitat types in the Apache, Gila, and part of the Cibola
       National Forests, Arizona and New Mexico [20]
(2)  Riparian dominance types of Montana [31]
(3)  Coniferous forest habitat types of northern Utah [48]
(4)  The subalpine fir/beargrass habitat type:  succession and
       management [69]
(5)  The grand fir/mountain maple habitat type in central Idaho:
       succession and management [71].
