Name: Juniperus osteosperma / Cercocarpus ledifolius Woodland Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This sparse woodland type has been reported from the Pryor Mountains of south-central Montana and the western slope of the Bighorn Mountains in north-central Wyoming. Stands grow on southerly or westerly slopes in shallow, coarse-textured soils overlying fractured sandstone or limestone bedrock, at elevations from approximately 1200-1680 m (4000-5500 feet). The vegetation consists of a sparse (canopy cover often <10%), low tree layer of <i>Juniperus osteosperma</i> and a shrub layer dominated by <i>Cercocarpus ledifolius var. ledifolius</i>. Common species in the sparse undergrowth are <i>Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis, Artemisia nova, Gutierrezia sarothrae, Pseudoroegneria spicata</i>, and <i>Arenaria hookeri</i>.  Accession Code: VB.CC.33708.CEGL000734 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
