Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This woodland association is currently only known from Yosemite National Park and Inyo National Forest in California, and the following description is based on occurrences there. Additional information will be added as it becomes available. Stands of this woodland are found at mid to high elevations (2100-2900 m [6900-9500 feet]) on gentle to somewhat steep (3-22°) slopes with variable aspects ranging from northeast to south. Soils are poorly developed to moderately well-developed with textures ranging from gravelly sandy rock to silt loam. These soils are shallow to deep and are usually well-drained. Parent material is granitic. Stands of this woodland are dominated by <i>Pinus jeffreyi</i> in the open to intermittent tree canopy and <i>Chrysolepis sempervirens</i> in the open to intermittent understory shrub layer. The tree canopy may occasionally include <i>Abies concolor, Abies magnifica, Pinus lambertiana</i>, and <i>Juniperus occidentalis var. australis</i>. Understory species contribute to minor cover and may include <i>Achnatherum webberi, Apocynum androsaemifolium, Quercus vacciniifolia, Arctostaphylos patula, Cistanthe monosperma, Cryptantha muricata (= var. denticulata), Eriogonum spergulinum var. reddingianum, Hydrophyllum occidentale, Lupinus confertus, Maianthemum racemosum ssp. racemosum, Pseudostellaria jamesiana, Pyrola picta, Rumex acetosella, Streptanthus tortuosus</i>, and <i>Symphoricarpos rotundifolius var. rotundifolius</i>.
