Name: Pinus ponderosa / (Andropogon gerardii, Schizachyrium scoparium) Woodland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This woodland occurs in the western Black Hills of South Dakota and in the Powder River Basin and Little Missouri drainage of Wyoming and Montana. Pinus ponderosa is the only tree in the overstory. Shrubby Juniperus scopulorum may occur in the understory. The ground layer is dominated by Schizachyrium scoparium with Andropogon gerardii and/or Bouteloua curtipendula. This type occurs on warm slopes in Montana, but more mesic sites in drier portions of the Black Hills and Wyoming. Soils are well-drained and often derived from sandstone.
