Name: Poliomintha incana / Bouteloua gracilis Shrubland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This minor shrubland association is described from deep sand sites within the pinyon-juniper woodlands of north-central New Mexico. Elevation is approximately 1850 m. Stands are found on well-drained hillslopes. The vegetation is characterized by an open shrub layer codominated by Poliomintha incana and Artemisia filifolia. Artemisia filifolia has higher cover especially in the lower slope positions that may hold soil water longer. Other woody plants include Gutierrezia sarothrae, Ericameria nauseosa var. bigelovii, Opuntia phaeacantha, and Opuntia polyacantha with occasional Juniperus monosperma or Pinus edulis trees. The sparse grass layer is composed of Bouteloua gracilis, Sporobolus cryptandrus, and Schizachyrium scoparium.  Accession Code: VB.CC.25734.POLIOMINTHAINCA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
