Name: A.523
Reference: EcoArt 2002
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 León, and northern Chihuahua).
