Additional information will be added as it becomes available. elevations range from 2130 to 2350 m (7000-7700 feet), and aspects are eastern. This association is found in low to middle slope positions, primarily near intermittent creeks. Soils are well-drained loamy sands derived primarily from volcanic, granitic or metamorphic parent materials. Bare soil ranges from 20-75%. Sites are upland or riparian. This association is characterized by tree cover of up to 60% in the 35-50 m height class, although most stands have a lower canopy cover and height. It is dominated by <i>Pinus jeffreyi</i> and <i>Pinus monophylla</i>. The shrub layer ranges between 15-25% and is dominated by <i>Artemisia tridentata</i>. <i>Purshia tridentata</i> is also present, in lower amounts.
