Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This community occurs in the pine forest-grassland mosaic in the low uplands east of the Bighorn Mountains between the Tongue and Powder rivers in southeastern Montana. Stands are dominated by <i>Andropogon gerardii</i>, a Great Plains tallgrass at the western edge of its range, and <i>Schizachyrium scoparium</i>. It is found on nearly level terrain or gentle slopes with cool aspects of parklands with loamy soils. <i>Andropogon gerardii</i> is codominant with <i>Sorghastrum nutans</i> in the tallgrass prairies of the eastern Great Plains.
