Name: Pinus ponderosa / Artemisia nova Woodland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This woodland association is found in the mountains and plateaus in southern Utah. Stands occur on gentle lower slopes and benches with various aspects. Elevation ranges from 2340-2750 m (7660-9000 feet). Substrates are typically shallow, gravelly loam or silt loam soils derived from basalt. The tree canopy is open (10-30% cover) and is dominated by Pinus ponderosa. Scattered Juniperus scopulorum or Pinus flexilis trees may also be present. Artemisia nova or Artemisia arbuscula dominates the typically sparse dwarf-shrub layer. Others shrub species present may include Purshia tridentata, Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus, Ericameria parryi, Gutierrezia sarothrae, Quercus gambelii, and Tetradymia canescens. The sparse herbaceous layer (<20% cover) is primarily composed of graminoids with scattered forbs.  Accession Code: VB.CC.18148.PINUSPONDEROSAA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
