Name: Pinus edulis / Andropogon hallii Woodland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This woodland association occurs locally in the landscape in central and northern New Mexico, where it occurs on valley plains with deep sandy soils. The typical soil is a Typic Ustipsamments. The tree layer is well represented and dominated by <i>Pinus edulis</i> with <i>Juniperus monosperma</i> also present. The understory may be grassy with <i>Andropogon hallii</i> and/or <i>Muhlenbergia pungens</i> common to abundant. Other common species present in the herbaceous layer are <i>Schizachyrium scoparium, Bouteloua gracilis, Sporobolus cryptandrus, Sporobolus contractus, Achnatherum hymenoides (= Oryzopsis hymenoides)</i> and <i>Erysimum repandum</i>. The shrub layer is often well represented and includes <i>Artemisia filifolia, Artemisia tridentata, Yucca elata, Rhus trilobata</i> and <i>Chrysothamnus</i> spp. No phases have been described for this association. Where <i>Andropogon hallii</i> grows in large patches, upland birds and small mammals find good environmental protection. Its extensive system of roots and rhizomes do a good job of stabilizing sandy soils.  Accession Code: VB.CC.33288.CEGL000774 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
