Name: A.392
Reference: EcoArt 2002
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.
