Name: Pinus ponderosa / Juniperus communis Woodland Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This ponderosa pine / common juniper community type is found on moderate north- and west-facing slopes in the northern Rocky Mountain foothills and adjacent Great Plains of the United States. The parent material is most often limestone but it can be igneous rock. The soils are shallow and loamy. This community is a woodland dominated by <i>Pinus ponderosa</i> with occasional individuals of <i>Juniperus scopulorum, Picea glauca, Betula papyrifera</i>, and <i>Populus tremuloides</i> in the canopy. There is a prominent low-shrub layer composed largely of <i>Juniperus communis</i>, although <i>Arctostaphylos uva-ursi</i> and <i>Mahonia repens</i> are frequently represented in this type. The herb layer is sparse and made up mostly of graminoids such as <i>Schizachyrium scoparium</i> and <i>Carex inops ssp. heliophila</i>.  Accession Code: VB.CC.36878.CEGL000859 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
