Name: Quercus emoryi / Bouteloua curtipendula Woodland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This diverse Madrean woodland savanna association is known from the "Borderlands" area of southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico, Trans-Pecos Texas, and in the Sierra Del Carmen of northeastern Coahuila, Mexico. Stands occur on gentle to moderate hillslopes of northerly aspects, and elevations range from 1780-1980 m (4850-6500 feet). Substrates are igneous volcanic rhyolites, andesites and tuffs. This association is characterized by moderately open canopies (30% cover) dominated by Quercus emoryi. Quercus grisea or Quercus arizonica along with Juniperus deppeana, Pinus discolor, or Pinus cembroides can be present, but they are not dominant or codominant. The understory is moderately diverse (55 species have been recorded for the association), characteristically grassy, and dominated by Bouteloua curtipendula. Other common grasses include Bouteloua gracilis, Muhlenbergia emersleyi, and Eragrostis intermedia.  Accession Code: VB.CC.22896.QUERCUSEMORYIBO Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
