Name: Bouteloua eriopoda - Bouteloua hirsuta Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association occurs on steep to moderate foothill and mountain slopes, and on gentle alluvial fan piedmonts (bajadas). Elevations range from 4580-6330 feet. Aspects are predominantly northerly with increasing southern aspect with increasing elevation. Substrates are variable and include rhyolite, granite or quartz monzonite, and limestones (less often sandstones). Soils are generally shallow and well-drained, with surface textures ranging from sandy loams to silty loams. This grassland is dominated by Bouteloua hirsuta with Bouteloua eriopoda as a codominant or subdominant associate. Shrubs are common but scattered and include Chihuahuan Desert species such as Yucca baccata, Yucca elata, and Dasylirion wheeleri.  Accession Code: VB.CC.25460.BOUTELOUAERIOPO Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
