Name: Quercus emoryi Woodland Alliance Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This alliance includes semi-evergreen woodlands dominated by Quercus emoryi. Quercus grisea is a component on drier sites. Quercus gravesii, Quercus graciliformis, and Acer grandidentatum are on more mesic, subirrigated sites. Juniperus deppeana and Juniperus pinchotii may also be important. Other typical species include (from Texas occurrences) Celtis laevigata var. reticulata, Juniperus coahuilensis, Prunus serotina var. virens, Baccharis neglecta, Croton sp., Brickellia spp., Mahonia trifoliolata (= Berberis trifoliolata), Mimosa dysocarpa, Leptochloa dubia, Bothriochloa barbinodis (= var. barbinodis), and Muhlenbergia emersleyi. These woodlands are found in the Trans-Pecos Mountains of west Texas at 1350-1700 m (4500-5500 feet) elevation, especially over soils of alluvial origin in mountain valleys, associated with igneous geology. These woodlands may occur as a mosaic with grasslands dominated by Schizachyrium scoparium var. scoparium (= Schizachyrium scoparium ssp. neomexicanum) or Bouteloua eriopoda and Bouteloua curtipendula and may grade into woodlands of Pinus cembroides, Pinus edulis, and Quercus spp. on adjacent steep mountain slopes. This alliance is distributed in the mountains of Arizona and New Mexico, west to the Davis and Chisos mountains in western Texas, and south, in the mountains of northern Mexico.  Accession Code: VB.CC.18413.QUERCUSEMORYIWO Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
