click to update datacart
Name: Juniperus osteosperma / Cercocarpus montanus Woodland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This is a low, shrubby woodland type growing on shallow, rocky soils on hogbacks, ridges and colluvial slopes in south-central Wyoming, western Colorado and adjacent Utah. The sites on which this vegetation grows are sometimes classified as the shallow breaks range site (Warren n.d.). <i>Juniperus osteosperma</i> and <i>Cercocarpus montanus</i> occur together in either a wooded shrubland or woodland form, depending on the relative cover of the two dominant species. Occasionally the junipers are stunted and grow no taller than the mountain-mahogany. Sparse grasses dominate the understory, including <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata, Poa secunda, Pleuraphis jamesii</i>, and <i>Hesperostipa comata</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:29644-{1DCDEE71-33BC-46B5-A8AF-2DDE6565ADB6} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
