Name: Juniperus monosperma / Andropogon hallii Woodland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association is described from central and northern New Mexico on valley plains with deep, sandy soils. Juniperus monosperma is the dominant overstory species with canopy cover from 5-30%. Pinus edulis is absent or only occasionally present. Shrubs can be scarce or sometimes well represented but Psorothamnus scoparius (= Dalea scoparia) is considered a diagnostic species for the association. Andropogon hallii and Muhlenbergia pungens are the diagnostic herbaceous species. This association appears to be very similar to Pinus edulis / Andropogon hallii Woodland (CEGL000774) in its environmental setting and species composition. The exception is that the Pinus edulis / Andropogon hallii Woodland has both Pinus edulis and Juniperus monosperma in the overstory and lacks the shrub Psorothamnus scoparius that is described as diagnostic in Juniperus monosperma / Andropogon hallii Woodland (CEGL000704).  Accession Code: VB.CC.20800.JUNIPERUSMONOSP Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
