Name: Pinus jeffreyi / Cercocarpus ledifolius Woodland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This woodland association is currently only known from Yosemite National Park in California, and the following description is based on occurrences there. Additional information will be added as it becomes available. Elevations range from 2285 to 2650 m (7500-8700 feet), and aspects are variable. This association is found in low to high slope positions. Soils are moderately well- to well-drained loamy sands and sandy loams derived primarily from granite. Sites are upland. <i>Pinus jeffreyi</i> is the sole mature tree in sampled stands. Trees range from 10-50 m in height. <i>Abies concolor</i> and <i>Pinus albicaulis</i> saplings occur infrequently in the shrub layer. Shrubs include <i>Cercocarpus ledifolius</i> and <i>Artemisia tridentata</i>. The herbaceous layer varies from 5-50% cover. <i>Elymus elymoides</i> is the only frequent species in the herb layer.
