Name: Pinus ponderosa / Arctostaphylos uva-ursi Woodland Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This ponderosa pine / kinikinnick woodland community is found in the Black Hills region and Rocky Mountain Front Range. Stands occur on flat to gently sloping terrain with sandy loam and clay loam soil. The slopes generally face north, although other directions are also found. This community is dominated by a single tree species, Pinus ponderosa, but may have seedlings and a few saplings of Populus tremuloides and Quercus macrocarpa. In northern New Mexico and southern Colorado Pseudotsuga menziesii may also be present. Shrubs are a prominent feature of this community, especially Arctostaphylos uva-ursi. Symphoricarpos albus, Spiraea betulifolia, and Juniperus communis are scattered throughout this type. The herbaceous stratum is less dense and may include species such as Achillea millefolium, Lathyrus ochroleucus, and Oryzopsis asperifolia.  Accession Code: VB.CC.27882.PINUSPONDEROSAA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
