Name: Juniperus monosperma / Andropogon hallii Woodland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This association is described from central and northern New Mexico on valley plains with deep, sandy soils. <i>Juniperus monosperma</i> is the dominant overstory species with canopy cover from 5-30%. <i>Pinus edulis</i> is absent or only occasionally present. Shrubs can be scarce or sometimes well represented but <i>Psorothamnus scoparius (= Dalea scoparia)</i> is considered a diagnostic species for the association. <i>Andropogon hallii</i> and <i>Muhlenbergia pungens</i> are the diagnostic herbaceous species. This association appears to be very similar to ~<i>Pinus edulis / Andropogon hallii</i> Woodland (CEGL000774)$$ in its environmental setting and species composition. The exception is that the <i>Pinus edulis / Andropogon hallii</i> Woodland has both <i>Pinus edulis</i> and <i>Juniperus monosperma</i> in the overstory and lacks the shrub <i>Psorothamnus scoparius</i> that is described as diagnostic in ~<i>Juniperus monosperma / Andropogon hallii</i> Woodland (CEGL000704)$$.
