Name: Pinus ponderosa / Pseudoroegneria spicata Woodland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This ponderosa pine woodland is one of the drier ponderosa pine woodlands found in the northern Rocky Mountains, Inter-Mountains, and extreme northwestern Great Plains of the United States and Canada. It is found on slopes with coarse soils, often with a high gravel or rock content. Pinus ponderosa is typically the only tree in the overstory, although Juniperus scopulorum may be present in the subcanopy. It forms open to moderately closed canopies. There are very few shrubs. The herbaceous layer is dominated by Pseudoroegneria spicata. Other species found in this layer are Carex filifolia, Carex inops ssp. heliophila, Koeleria macrantha, Achillea millefolium, Balsamorhiza sagittata and Hesperostipa comata (= Stipa comata). Bare mineral soil and exposed rock are common.  Accession Code: VB.CC.21366.PINUSPONDEROSAP Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
