Name: Abies concolor / Leymus triticoides Woodland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This plant association is restricted to upper elevations between 2750-3020 m (9000-9900 feet) in the Capitan Mountains of south-central New Mexico. It occurs on steep slopes with cobbly soils derived from talus. <i>Abies concolor</i> is the dominant in association with <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i>, and <i>Pinus strobiformis</i>. <i>Picea engelmannii</i> and <i>Abies lasiocarpa</i> are absent or accidental. Shrubs are well-represented (<i>Holodiscus dumosus, Acer glabrum</i>, and <i>Quercus gambelii</i>), but the grass <i>Leymus triticoides</i> is abundant to luxuriant, and diagnostic in the herb layer.
