Name: Muhlenbergia emersleyi - Bouteloua hirsuta Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association occurs in southwestern New Mexico near the Animas Mountains. It is found on moderately steep slopes with southerly aspects at an elevation of 1770 m (5800 feet) on rhyolitic parent material. The grass layer is abundant with <i>Muhlenbergia emersleyi</i> well represented, but not necessarily the dominant. Other grasses present are <i>Bothriochloa barbinodis, Lycurus phleoides, Aristida schiedeana var. orcuttiana (= Aristida orcuttiana), Eragrostis intermedia, Panicum hirticaule</i>, and <i>Setaria grisebachii</i>. The shrub layer is poorly represented though diverse and includes <i>Dasylirion wheeleri, Nolina microcarpa, Mimosa aculeaticarpa var. biuncifera, Brickellia venosa</i>, and <i>Gutierrezia sarothrae</i>. The forb layer is scarce in cover but is highly diverse and has 20+ species present. This association grades into ~<i>Quercus emoryi / Muhlenbergia emersleyi</i> Woodland (CEGL000685)$$ as elevation increases.  Accession Code: VB.CC.32283.CEGL001645 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
