Name: Pinus monophylla - Juniperus osteosperma / Cercocarpus ledifolius / Pseudoroegneria spicata Woodland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association has been described from a small region in south-central Idaho at the southern end of the Albion Mountains. The southern Albion Mountains, where this association is found, are a complex of four gneiss domes, aligned along a north-south axis. Landforms associated with these domes include steep-sided ridges, and erosional features such as tors and linear rock ridges enclosing narrow canyons. Rock types include granodiorite, gneiss with bodies of schist, some quartzite, and lenses, pods and sheets of amphibolite. Little information is available regarding the structure and composition of this association. Two evergreen needle-leaved trees dominate the canopy, Pinus monophylla and Juniperus osteosperma, with total cover of 30-70%. Pinus monophylla is always present, while the Juniperus is present with varying frequency. There is a tall-shrub layer dominated by the broad-leaved deciduous Cercocarpus ledifolius. The herbaceous understory is dominated by the perennial bunchgrass Pseudoroegneria spicata. No other information is available on plant species cover or composition.  Accession Code: VB.CC.23862.PINUSMONOPHYLLA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
