Name: Fouquieria splendens / Bouteloua hirsuta Shrubland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This desert shrub-grassland association is known only from the Animas Mountains of southwestern New Mexico and reported from Trans-Pecos Texas. It may occur in adjacent Arizona and Mexico, but survey is needed to document it there. It occurs at about 1525 m (5000 feet) elevation on rolling hills with rocky, shallow soils. Stands are characterized by a moderate cover of grasses dominated by <i>Bouteloua hirsuta</i> in association with <i>Eragrostis intermedia</i>. Scattered, but conspicuous <i>Fouquieria splendens</i> along with <i>Prosopis glandulosa</i> typify the shrub layer.
