Name: Pinus ponderosa / Purshia tridentata / Achnatherum hymenoides Woodland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: <i>Pinus ponderosa</i> dominates the tree layer of this open woodland. Scattered individuals of <i>Juniperus occidentalis</i> and occasional patches of dense <i>Pinus ponderosa</i> saplings can occur. The poorly developed understory is dominated by <i>Purshia tridentata</i> (4% cover). Trace amounts of <i>Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus</i> and <i>Artemisia tridentata</i> are present. The herbaceous layer is very sparse and dominated by perennial bunchgrasses that total about 5%. Grasses can include <i>Achnatherum hymenoides (= Oryzopsis hymenoides), Poa secunda, Festuca idahoensis, Elymus elymoides</i>, and <i>Stipa</i> sp. Perennial forbs contribute less than 1% cover.  Accession Code: VB.CC.33198.CEGL000196 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
