Name: Quercus grisea / Juniperus deppeana Woodland Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This woodland occurs in western Texas, southeastern Arizona, and likely southern New Mexico and northern Mexico. Stands occur in mountains, foothills, bajadas and canyon bottoms. Elevation of a stand at Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge is 1362 m (4470 feet). Soils are shallow, gravelly or stony sandy loams or sandy clay loams, derived from a mixture of alluvium and colluvium. The vegetation is characterized by an open to moderately dense evergreen tree layer (10-60% cover) codominated by <i>Quercus grisea</i> and <i>Juniperus deppeana</i>. The tree canopy is typically 5-10 m tall. Stands range from open woodland/savanna at lower elevations to moderately dense woodland at higher elevations and in canyon bottoms. There may be a sparse to moderately dense shrub layer dominated by <i>Juniperus deppeana</i> or <i>Quercus grisea</i>. Other characteristic shrubs include <i>Bouvardia ternifolia (= Bouvardia glaberrima), Cercocarpus montanus, Erythrina flabelliformis, Garrya wrightii, Morus microphylla</i>, or <i>Rhus trilobata</i>. Vines such as <i>Sageretia wrightii</i> and <i>Vitis arizonica</i> are common in riparian stands. The herbaceous layer is generally sparse, but the often diverse forb layer may include <i>Artemisia ludoviciana, Cheilanthes</i> spp., <i>Hybanthus attenuatus, Mirabilis</i> spp., <i>Muhlenbergia dumosa, Muhlenbergia rigens, Pellaea atropurpurea</i>, and <i>Thalictrum fendleri</i>. Diagnostic of this association is the codominance of <i>Quercus grisea</i> and <i>Juniperus deppeana</i> in the tree canopy and/or shrub layer. The herbaceous layer is generally sparse.  Accession Code: VB.CC.35371.CEGL003521 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
