Name: Pinus remota Woodland Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Woodlands in this alliance are dominated by Pinus remota, and occur at low to moderate elevations (2500-5000 feet) in the Glass and Del Norte mountains of the Trans-Pecos, and eastward to the Stockton and Edwards Plateau. Quercus spp. and Juniperus spp. often share dominance in the open canopy, with the species varying geographically. Associated species in the Trans-Pecos include Quercus mohriana, Juniperus pinchotii, Yucca elata, Bouteloua curtipendula, Bouteloua gracilis, and Agave lechuguilla. Associates in the Edwards/Stockton Plateau are Juniperus ashei, Quercus vaseyana (= Quercus pungens var. vaseyana), Quercus fusiformis, and perhaps Quercus buckleyi and Quercus laceyi. This alliance occurs as isolated stands, mostly associated with limestone geology, and is endemic to Texas and adjacent provinces of Mexico (Coahuila, Nuevo Le, and northern Chihuahua).
