Name: Pinus aristata / Ribes montigenum Woodland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association is found in northern Arizona, northern New Mexico, and Colorado on scree and cobbly soils from about 3050-3510 m (10,000-11,500 feet) in elevation. Limited plot data suggest that the association is not very species-rich. <i>Pinus aristata</i> is the dominant tree species, and <i>Picea engelmannii</i> is present in low abundance. The shrub layer is dominated by <i>Ribes montigenum</i> with 5-10% canopy cover. <i>Juniperus communis</i> is present but not abundant. Herbaceous species richness is low, and no species has high canopy cover or constancy values among the plots. The greater abundance of <i>Ribes montigenum</i> and the low abundance of <i>Juniperus communis</i> in this association differentiates it from ~<i>Pinus contorta / Juniperus communis</i> Woodland (CEGL000764)$$. The abundance of <i>Trifolium dasyphyllum</i> in ~<i>Pinus aristata / Trifolium dasyphyllum</i> Woodland (CEGL000762)$$ differentiates it from this association (CEGL000761), which has little or no <i>Trifolium dasyphyllum</i>.
