Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This woodland is known from the Ochoco Range and southern Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon and is reported from California and may occur in Washington. It is found between 1465-1650 m (4800-5400 feet) elevation on southerly aspects up to 25% slope. Soils are loams with varying amounts of silt, sand, and clay. <i>Pinus ponderosa</i> is the sole tree, averaging 42% cover. <i>Purshia tridentata</i> is the dominant shrub (13% cover) with minor amounts of <i>Mahonia repens</i> (2% cover) and occasional <i>Cercocarpus ledifolius</i> (4% cover), <i>Symphoricarpos albus</i> (3% cover), and <i>Ceanothus velutinus</i> (2% cover). <i>Carex geyeri</i> (37% cover) dominates the herb layer with occasional <i>Achillea millefolium</i> and <i>Carex rossii</i>. Periodic fires limit <i>Purshia tridentata</i> but maintain <i>Pinus ponderosa</i>.
