Name: Pinus cembroides - Quercus gravesii Forest Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This alliance includes mixed forests of high elevations (above 5000 feet) of the Chisos Mountains, possibly extending into Mexico. Characteristically, these forests are dominated by a mixture of evergreen Pinus spp. (Pinus cembroides, Pinus arizonica), evergreen Juniperus spp. (Juniperus deppeana, Juniperus flaccida, Juniperus coahuilensis (= Juniperus erythrocarpa)), evergreen Quercus spp. (Quercus grisea, Quercus tardifolia), and deciduous Quercus spp. (Quercus gravesii, Quercus graciliformis). These forests occur on canyon slopes at high elevations in the Chisos Mountains of Trans-Pecos Texas. They grade into coniferous forests at higher elevations and, at lower elevations, into oak - juniper woodlands.  Accession Code: VB.CC.19817.PINUSCEMBROIDES Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
