Name: Pseudotsuga menziesii / Festuca arizonica Forest
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This Douglas-fir forest association is found on the Colorado Plateau and mountains of Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico and Texas. This description is based on information from Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve in Colorado. Additional global information will be added as it becomes available. This association is known from one location found on a moderately steep low shoulder slope at 2878 m elevation. Soils are moderately drained loams. Live vegetation basal area dominates the soil surface, along with moderate amounts of litter and bare soil. This association is characterized by an open low-statured canopy of <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> (10%). The herbaceous layer ranges from 25-35% cover with <i>Muhlenbergia montana, Festuca arizonica</i>, and <i>Danthonia parryi</i> as dominant species.
