Name: Bouteloua curtipendula - Bothriochloa barbinodis Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This minor association is known from Bandelier National Monument in north-central New Mexico and from White Sands Missile Range in south-central New Mexico. It has been recorded at 1660 m (5450 feet) elevation on a southerly aspect of a steep (40%), lower canyon slope within the high-water flood zone above a river terrace along the Rio Grande. It is also known to occur in the Oscura and San Andres mountains at elevations between 1850 and 1890 m (6075-6200 feet) on moderately steep slopes. Substrates include colluvial deposits derived from basalt and andesite volcanic flows. Ground cover is characterized by scattered bunchgrasses in a matrix of boulders and rocks. Within Bandelier National Monument, this ruderal grassland is dominated by <i>Bothriochloa barbinodis</i> with scattered <i>Bouteloua curtipendula</i>; <i>Elymus elymoides</i> and <i>Setaria leucopila</i> are also well-represented. Shrubs are scattered and poorly represented. On White Sands Missile Range, <i>Bouteloua curtipendula</i> and <i>Bothriochloa barbinodis</i> codominate and can be luxuriant in cover. Shrubs are insignificant, but a wide variety of forbs is known for this association.  Accession Code: VB.CC.34181.CEGL001590 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
