Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This diverse Madrean woodland association is known from the "Borderlands" area of southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico, and in the Sierra Del Carmen of northeastern Coahuila, Mexico (and potentially in Big Bend National Park, Texas). Stands occur on gentle to moderate hillslopes of northerly aspects and at elevations ranging from 1310-1950 m (4300-6400 feet). This association is characterized by moderately open tree canopies (30-60% cover) of the evergreen oaks <i>Quercus arizonica</i> or <i>Quercus grisea</i>. <i>Juniperus deppeana</i> or <i>Pinus cembroides</i> are usually present but not dominant. The understory is diverse (86 species have been recorded for the association), characteristically grassy, and dominated by <i>Bouteloua curtipendula</i>. Other common grasses include <i>Bouteloua gracilis, Muhlenbergia emersleyi</i>, and <i>Eragrostis intermedia</i>.
