Name: Pinus flexilis / Juniperus osteosperma Woodland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This woodland association occurs in the Pryor Mountains of south-central Montana and may also occur in adjacent Wyoming. Stands are locally common on mid to upper slopes and benches between 1310-1615 m (4300-5300 feet) elevation. This type occurs on shallow soils, derived from calcareous sandstone with a pH >7.5. Ground cover is largely gravel and rock, often exceeding 70%, with over 10% cover of bare soil. The open overstory canopy includes a low cover of Pinus flexilis and Juniperus osteosperma. The undergrowth is characterized by a sparse short-shrub layer of Artemisia nova, Gutierrezia sarothrae, and Petrophyton caespitosum; the perennial bunchgrass Pseudoroegneria spicata; and the cactus, Opuntia polyacantha.  Accession Code: VB.CC.23766.PINUSFLEXILISJU Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
