Name: Picea engelmannii / Leymus triticoides Forest
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This plant association is restricted to the upper elevations above 3020 m (9900 feet) of the Capitan Mountains in south-central New Mexico. It occurs on steep slopes with cobbly soils derived from talus. Picea engelmannii is the dominant in association with Pseudotsuga menziesii and occasionally Abies lasiocarpa. Shrubs are well-represented (Holodiscus dumosus, Acer glabrum, and Jamesia americana), but abundant Leymus triticoides is diagnostic in the herb layer.
