Name: Juniperus monosperma / Quercus turbinella Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This is a type known only from the San Andres and San Augustine mountains. It is most often found on localized montane dunelands and occasionally on scarp slopes. It is characterized by a very open canopy of <i>Juniperus monosperma</i> and a shrub layer dominated by abundant <i>Quercus turbinella</i>. Other trees are rarely present. Overall species diversity is moderate. In the shrub layer, <i>Yucca elata, Opuntia phaeacantha, Garrya wrightii, Cylindropuntia imbricata</i>, and <i>Gutierrezia sarothrae</i> are often present, though at low cover levels. Grasses are generally poorly represented, with <i>Aristida purpurea</i> and <i>Bouteloua curtipendula</i> the most constant species. Forbs are scarce and include <i>Mirabilis multiflora, Echinocereus triglochidiatus</i>, and <i>Dalea lanata</i>.
