Name: Cupressus arizonica / Quercus turbinella Forest Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: The distribution of this woodland association includes localized occurrences in southern and southeastern Arizona; also north of Cooke's Peak, New Mexico. This association occurs on moderately steep canyon slopes or alluvial toeslopes with mostly northerly aspects on a variety of parent materials. Elevations range from 1463 to 1768 m (4800-5800 feet). Cupressus arizonica dominates the luxuriant tree canopy that is mixed with Pinus edulis, Pinus monophylla var. fallax (= Pinus edulis var. fallax), and Juniperus osteosperma. Quercus turbinella dominates the shrub layer which is well-represented in cover and includes Quercus chrysolepis, Arctostaphylos pungens, Arctostaphylos pungens, Garrya wrightii, Ceanothus greggii, Rhus ovata, Cercocarpus montanus, and Rhamnus crocea. The herbaceous layer is scarce due to the dense tree and shrub canopy.  Accession Code: VB.CC.22350.CUPRESSUSARIZON Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
