Name: Quercus emoryi / Dasylirion wheeleri Woodland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This Madrean woodland savanna association is known from the Mule Mountains in southeastern Arizona, but it likely occurs elsewhere in Arizona, New Mexico, or northern Mexico. Stands occur on lower mountain slopes at around 1460 m (4800 feet) with northerly aspects and extend up to 1830 m (6000 feet) on southern slopes. This an open oak woodland dominated by Quercus emoryi. Quercus grisea or Quercus arizonica along with Pinus cembroides can be present, but they are not dominant or codominant. The understory is moderately diverse (47 species have been recorded for the association), with both a conspicuous shrub component dominated by Dasylirion wheeleri and a grassy understory dominated by Schizachyrium cirratum, Muhlenbergia emersleyi, and Aristida schiedeana var. orcuttiana (= Aristida orcuttiana).  Accession Code: VB.CC.22808.QUERCUSEMORYIDA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
