Name: Pseudotsuga menziesii / Piptatherum micranthum Woodland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: Pseudotsuga menziesii / Piptatherum micranthum Woodland occurs in the Missouri River Breaks south of the Little Rocky Mountains in Phillips County, north-central Montana. Pseudotsuga menziesii is the climax tree species, and Pinus ponderosa is common in seral stands. Juniperus scopulorum and Symphoricarpos occidentalis are common in the understory. Piptatherum micranthum (= Oryzopsis micrantha) and species of moss are common in the ground layer. This vegetation is found only on cool, moist slopes. Soils are presumably derived from shales and sandstones.
