Name: Pinus jeffreyi / Festuca roemeri Wooded Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association has a typically park-like appearance of mostly mature pines scattered sparsely over a continuous grassland, occasionally supporting shrub patches. Stands occur at elevations of 530-1980 m (1740-6490 feet) with variable aspects and slopes of 3-48%. Soils are shallow (<25 cm depth) and derived from serpentine parent material. The vegetation is a very open-canopied woodland/savanna with dense grass cover. <i>Pinus jeffreyi</i> is the only overstory tree species represented at most sites and averages 21% cover. <i>Pinus jeffreyi, Calocedrus decurrens</i>, and <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> are commonly in the understory with 8%, 10%, and 4% cover, respectively. Shrubs may be locally abundant, such as <i>Ceanothus cuneatus</i> (37%) and <i>Arctostaphylos canescens</i> (38%). The graminoid layer is dominated by <i>Festuca roemeri</i> with 55% cover. An important forb, <i>Achillea millefolium</i>, averages 12% cover.  Accession Code: VB.CC.31970.CEGL000817 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
