Name: Pinus engelmannii / Quercus hypoleucoides Woodland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This highly diverse `Madrean' woodland association is restricted to the isolated `sky island' mountain ranges of southern Arizona and northern Mexico. This association may also occur in the Animas Mountains of New Mexico. In the U.S., it is known only from the Santa Rita and Chiricahua mountains, but it may be more prevalent in Mexico. This association occurs on moderate to steep slopes of northerly aspects or on benches. Elevations range from 1770-2165 m (5800-7100 feet). Soils are predominantly skeletal Ustochrepts. Generally, sites are warm and dry. The vegetation is characterized by open stands of <i>Pinus engelmannii</i> with <i>Pinus leiophylla</i> as an occasional codominant. <i>Quercus hypoleucoides</i> dominates the subcanopy and shrub layer; <i>Quercus arizonica</i> is common, but never dominant. Other shrubs may include <i>Arbutus arizonica</i> and <i>Garrya wrightii</i>. <i>Muhlenbergia longiligula</i> is well-represented and dominates the herb layer, which is otherwise diverse, variable, and sparse.  Accession Code: VB.CC.33236.CEGL000801 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
