Name: Abies concolor / Leymus triticoides Woodland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This plant association is restricted to upper elevations between 2750-3020 m (9000-9900 feet) in the Capitan Mountains of south-central New Mexico. It occurs on steep slopes with cobbly soils derived from talus. Abies concolor is the dominant in association with Pseudotsuga menziesii, and Pinus strobiformis. Picea engelmannii and Abies lasiocarpa are absent or accidental. Shrubs are well-represented (Holodiscus dumosus, Acer glabrum, and Quercus gambelii), but the grass Leymus triticoides is abundant to luxuriant, and diagnostic in the herb layer.
