Name: Pinus ponderosa / Purshia tridentata / Achnatherum hymenoides Woodland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: Pinus ponderosa dominates the tree layer of this open woodland. Scattered individuals of Juniperus occidentalis and occasional patches of dense Pinus ponderosa saplings can occur. The poorly developed understory is dominated by Purshia tridentata (4% cover). Trace amounts of Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus and Artemisia tridentata are present. The herbaceous layer is very sparse and dominated by perennial bunch grasses that total about 5%. Grasses can include Achnatherum hymenoides (= Oryzopsis hymenoides), Poa secunda, Festuca idahoensis, Elymus elymoides, and Stipa sp. Perennial forbs contribute less than 1% cover.  Accession Code: VB.CC.22626.PINUSPONDEROSAP Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
