Name: Pinus ponderosa - (Populus tremuloides) / Fallugia paradoxa - (Holodiscus dumosus) Lava Bed Sparse Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This sparse association is currently only known from Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument in Arizona, and the following description is based on occurrences there. Additional information will be added as it becomes available. Elevation is fairly constant and ranges from 2100-2130 m. Slope ranges from 0-15% slope. The substrate consists of large soil pockets within aa lava and at the edge of the lava beds. Total vegetation cover ranges from 5-45%. Species richness ranges from 4-22 within 5 sampled plots. The sparse (0-30% cover) tree layer consists of scattered individuals of <i>Pinus ponderosa</i> and <i>Populus tremuloides</i>. The shrub layer (4-6%) consists of mainly <i>Fallugia paradoxa</i> and <i>Holodiscus dumosus</i>. The herbaceous layer is sparse (1-5%).
