Description: This limber pine woodland is a dry evergreen woodland found in the northern Rocky Mountains and adjacent northwestern Great Plains of the United States. Soils are dry, shallow, and rocky. The parent material is commonly limestone or sandstone, and there is a significant amount of unvegetated ground.
