Name: Picea engelmannii / Leymus triticoides Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This plant association is restricted to the upper elevations above 3020 m (9900 feet) of the Capitan Mountains in south-central New Mexico. It occurs on steep slopes with cobbly soils derived from talus. <i>Picea engelmannii</i> is the dominant in association with <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> and occasionally <i>Abies lasiocarpa</i>. Shrubs are well-represented (<i>Holodiscus dumosus, Acer glabrum</i>, and <i>Jamesia americana</i>), but abundant <i>Leymus triticoides</i> is diagnostic in the herb layer.
