Name: Juglans major / Bouteloua curtipendula Forest
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This association is known from the eastern slope of the Black Range (Rio Grande basin) in south-central western New Mexico (Sierra County) and probably in southwestern New Mexico and southeastern Arizona. It is known from cobbly soils of higher terraces that are infrequently flooded at elevations around 1890 m (6200 feet). Soils have been reported as weakly developed sandy-skeletal over coarse loamy Aquic Camborthids. In this type, <i>Juglans major</i> forms an open canopy with scattered junipers (<i>Juniperus deppeana</i> and <i>Juniperus scopulorum</i>) in the undergrowth. The grassy understory is abundant to luxuriant and is dominated by <i>Bouteloua curtipendula</i>, in association with <i>Bothriochloa laguroides ssp. torreyana</i> and <i>Cynodon dactylon</i>. <i>Artemisia ludoviciana ssp. mexicana</i> is also well-represented.
